Clonlea Park is a nice outdoor space in the heart of Gawler, South Australia. Multiple car parks are available with space enough for quite a few vehicles. The park can get busy on weekends between the sporting fields, tennis courts, and walking paths, but you can almost always find some solitude. The paths around the park are a mix of crushed gravel and sealed surface. Around the park the paths are mostly flat and make for great beginner terrain before venturing further out in the bush.

A pleasant wetland walk beginning at Clonlea Park and then following well maintained shared-use paths running adjacent to the North Para River. The park has a magnificent skate facility catering for toddlers and teens, gold stars if you can spot the sculptured native birds and animals hidden in the trees - this can be a great activity for the kids. There are toilets, BBQs and ample parking located near the trailhead.
