Visiting the Park

Wangkuntila-Aldinga Conservation Park contains a number of well maintained sandy walking trails which wind their way through the various plant communities to be found throughout the park. The best time to visit the park is from mid-autumn to late spring.  The very hot mid-summer period is a time to avoid. Due to the fragile sandy nature of the park, the paths are not suitable for bicycles, prams, and wheelchairs. Pets and camping are not permitted in the park. There is a bicycle track on the eastern boundary of the park linking the Hart Road wetlands to Cox Road.

It is suggested that appropriate footwear and a shady hat is worn, and don't forget to take water if you plan to be out for long; there is no water or other facility available in the Park.

Wangkuntila-Aldinga Conservation Park is a delicate environment and you are requested to remain on the marked trail at all times to avoid damage to vegetation and minimise erosion. Allow a couple of hours to explore and enjoy our Park.

There are a number of entry points to the Park.  Possibly the best is the Dover Street car park on the corner of Dover and Fraser Streets in Aldinga Beach.  This is the starting point for three trails including the Coral Lichen Circuit.

Other entry points are at the corner of Quondong Avenue and Acacia Terrace, the intersection of Boomerang Avenue and Acacia Terrace, corner of Wattle Street and Acacia Terrace, and the western end of Cox Road. Entry point to the Washpool is at the western end of Button Road.

The popular Willunga Basin Trail passes through Wangkuntila-Aldinga Conservation Park. You can find out more about this walk here.
