Cleland Conservation Park is a conservation park in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from Adelaide City centre.

Wildlife Park

Entrance at Park

The Wildlife Park is accessible by sealed road from both the South Eastern Freeway and Greenhill Road. It is also possible to walk on a formed but steep track from Waterfall Gully or Mount Lofty.. A limited public bus service operates (Route 823: 3 journeys each day). A fee is payable to enter the Wildlife Park (but not to the Conservation Park except for car parking at Mt Lofty summit).

Cleland Wildlife Park offers visitors an opportunity to walk through large enclosures and thereby interact with Australian animals such as kangaroos, koalas and emus, and to see others including wombats, dingos and many bird and reptile species. The park also has a variety of rare and endangered species such as the Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby, Bush Stone-curlew and Brush-tailed Bettong.

Facilities include a souvenir shop, cafe and toilets. Many visitors pay to be photographed holding koalas. Several other options are available to visitors, including an Aboriginal guide on a Cultural Tour of the Yurridla Aboriginal Trail, which explains dreaming stories of dingoes, emus, koalas and Yurrabilla, the creation ancestor, and a nightwalk, uncovering the secrets of the bush.

Opening times are from 9.30 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. daily (except for Christmas Day) with no admission after 4.30 p.m. Admission prices range from AUD$14–$28.

Mount Lofty summit

Waterfall Gully

Other

By far the largest part of the park consists of bushland, mostly woodland with some open spaces where clearing has taken place.

There are a number of walking trails, including the Waterfall Gully - Mount Lofty summit trail which is a popular and reasonably challenging ascent of the west side of Mount Lofty , and parts of the long distance Heysen and Yurrebilla Trails, which run north–south along the higher ground in the east of the park.
