Stirling Linear Park, in the Adelaide Hills, is a natural reserve close to the centre of Stirling in South Australia. The Park contains large areas of natural bushland providing significant conservation and biodiversity value to the Adelaide Hills.

See About the Park for an introduction to the Park, or view the pages on the separate components of Hender Reserve, Madurta Reserve, Stirling Park and Woorabinda.

You can take a self guided walk around the Woorabinda Lake. A brochure is available to help you get the most out of your walk.

Dog walkers, please observe the requirement to leash your dog on the track around the lake. On those paths where dogs under control can be walked unleashed, please ensure that you and the dogs stay on the path.

Check our newsletters for the latest news about the Park.

An Environmental Value Assessment Report has been completed for the Friends of Stirling Linear Park by Robby Towill. It is an excellent report, and provides a lot of interesting information. It is provided here as a PDF (3.4 Mb).

These tortoises were spotted at Woorabinda recently. This illustrates the need to leave fallen logs in place as they are put to good use by the tortoises, lizards, frogs and other inhabitants of the park.

Fallen trees and branches in other areas are also part of the natural ecosystem and whenever possible should be left to rot and crumble away, providing homes and nourishment for small animals and insects.

Are you interested in joining the Friends of Stirling Linear Park? A family can join for just $10 a year, or $40 for 5 years. Print the membership form from the latest newsletter and send it in.
