[area map]Walk a small distance from Stirling centre and enter the main park from Ethel Street or Branch Road. Within minutes you find yourself in a peaceful valley, surrounded by natural vegetation. Walk a little further and you arrive at a reed fringed wetland - Lake Woorabinda. Continue on and you enter a cool woodland of stringy bark eucalypts and other native shrubs.

Woorabinda Bushland Reserves is 34 hectares in extent with a number of creeklines forming part of the Aldgate Creek sub-catchment of the Onkaparinga River. There are four areas: Stirling Park, Woorabinda, Hender Reserve and Madurta Reserve (walkways connect Madurta Reserve with the main park). The park is a valuable community resource with opportunities for recreation and education.

With local Council assistance the Friends of Woorabinda Bushland Reserves Inc. have developed a management plan for the park.
