Oth­er than in the heat of sum­mer’s hottest days, the park has some­thing to offer to those who ven­ture there. Win­ter time allows for the ver­dan­cy of the sur­round­ing bush to guide your walk through the undu­lat­ing land­scape. Spring brings with it a large vari­ety of wild­flow­ers which sprin­kle the bush with hues of light and life. Autumn brings in the cool wet­ness that revives the bush­land and brings new growth into the diverse for­est ecosystem.

The park is locat­ed 7km north-east of Mount Com­pass on Mount Mag­nif­i­cent Road where park­ing is avail­able to access both trails with­in the park. An alter­nate entrance is found on Black­fel­lows Creek Road. From this access point, park­ing is lim­it­ed and walk­ers will only be able to access one of the two walk­ing trails in the park.

Assis­tance dogs are per­mit­ted in most pub­lic places and are there­fore wel­come in South Australia’s parks and reserves. Assis­tance dogs must be appro­pri­ate­ly restrained on a lead and remain under your effec­tive con­trol at all times while in a park or reserve.

As per the dogs in parks and reserves pol­i­cy, if the dog is not an accred­it­ed assis­tance dog, they must be trained to assist a per­son with a dis­abil­i­ty to alle­vi­ate that dis­abil­i­ty and meet stan­dards of hygiene and behav­iour appro­pri­ate for a dog in a pub­lic place. How­ev­er, refusal may be giv­en if the per­son with the dis­abil­i­ty is unable to pro­duce evi­dence the dog is an assis­tance dog with the appro­pri­ate training.

Before tak­ing your assis­tance dog into a park that does not nor­mal­ly allow dogs, it is high­ly rec­om­mend­ed that you con­tact us so we can pro­vide you with the lat­est infor­ma­tion on any poten­tial haz­ards with­in spe­cif­ic parks that may affect your dog. Please con­tact the park via the con­tact details pro­vid­ed under the con­tact tab or con­tact the vis­i­tor ser­vice cen­tre via email or on Face­book.

Dogs are not per­mit­ted in this park.

Mount Mag­nif­i­cent Con­ser­va­tion Park was ded­i­cat­ed in 1967. The area was inves­ti­gat­ed for min­er­al deposits by ear­ly Euro­pean set­tlers, but the search proved unsuccessful.
