Natural Features and Parks

Greenhill is home to some amazing natural places.

  • Greenhill Recreation Park: This park is a fantastic spot for outdoor activities. It's a great place to explore nature, go for walks, or just enjoy the fresh air.
  • Mount Lofty: The western slopes of Mount Lofty are part of Greenhill. Mount Lofty is one of the highest points in the Adelaide Hills and offers incredible views.
  • Greenhill Creek: A small stream called Greenhill Creek flows through the area. It eventually joins First Creek, which is an important waterway in the region. These creeks help keep the local environment green and healthy.

How Greenhill Was Formed

The official boundaries for Greenhill were set up in October 2001. This was done to recognize the name "Greenhill," which had been used for a long time in the area. A small part of the land was later moved into the nearby suburb of Waterfall Gully in July 2002 to make the boundaries clearer.
