A walk for everyone
A walk can work wonders for your mood, mental health, and state of wellbeing. Even a short walk can make a big difference to your day, so why not start with a 10 minute walk at your own pace?
There are many walking trails and hiking paths across South Australia that are accessible to prams and people who use mobility aids.
Walking SA has complied a list of the top 50 across our state. Why not take a look at the list or start with exploring one of the trail suggestions below this weekend?
- Choose your own adventure along the River Torrens Trail. This 30km shared use trail stretches from the foothills at Athelstone through Adelaide CBD and all the way to West Beach. Pick a small section to explore this weekend. At least one side of the river is always a compacted surface and accessible to prams and wheelchairs. There are plenty of parking and public transport options to access various points of the trail.
- walk, roll, jog, ride, scoot, or skate
- stop for a picnic
- see if you can spot a koala or two in the beautiful gum trees!
- Take a walk at Glenthorne National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta - one of Adelaide’s newest and dog-friendly national parks. The 4km Glenthorne Loop Trail provides a great walk for you and your furry friend. Just remember to pick up their poo – our native wildlife will thank you.
- Discover the two family friendly trails, near a playground and dog park, at the Jo Gapper Activity Park at Hillbank.
- 2km Walking Loop: Starting at the playground, the gravel path leads up to the newly redeveloped Rotary look out that provides a scenic view of much of the City of Playford.
