Cobbler Creek Recreation Park is a protected area located in South Australia about north of the Adelaide city centre in the suburb of Gulfview Heights. Originally part of the lands of the Kaurna aboriginal people, it was farmed from European settlement of South Australia until the declaration of the park in 1989. The park provides an open space barrier between Golden Grove and the suburbs of Salisbury, has dams to mitigate flooding and is a significant site for both public recreation and native flora and fauna conservation. It is bounded by main roads and bisected by a four-lane main connecting road. == Structure and climate == Cobbler Creek Recreation Park is a protected area located about north of the Adelaide city centre within the suburb of Gulfview Heights.〔Department of Environment and Planning (1990), p.3〕 The park is bounded by Bridge and Smith roads, and Green Valley Drive. The Grove Way, a major divided road, runs through the park with a pedestrian underpass connecting the two park sections. The park is open to the public and includes three formed walking trails and two ruins. The remains of William Pedler's home "Trevalsa" and another's called "Teakles House" lie next to one of the trails. There are no public facilities except for benches, signage and picnic tables.〔 "Kelway House", originally belonging to the Kelway Park farm that occupied much of the park, remains as office accommodation for park management staff.〔Department of Environment and Planning (1990), p.20〕 The park lies on the border between the dry northern Adelaide Plains and the wetter Mount Lofty Ranges. Based on climate measurements for nearby Parafield Airport, the park has an average rainfall of , an average winter daily temperature range of 6.2—15.6 degrees Celsius and a summer range of 16.5—29.7.〔Department of Environment and Planning (1990), p.4〕 Due to the risk of flooding after heavy rain, the park’s waterways have been dammed, though they are dry for much of the year.〔Department of Environment and Planning (1990), p.35〕 The park’s topography ranges from steadily sloping in the west, to hilly in the east. Its lowest point, on the western edge along Bridge road, is above sea level, rising to at the Para Trigonometric Point in the park's southeastern corner. Flat land on the western side has red-brown soil with the remainder having Terra Rosas, Redzinas and fine-textured mallee soils.〔Department of Environment and Planning (1990), p.9〕 Cobbler Creek itself begins in the hills to the west of Golden Grove and joins with Slate Creek prior to entering the park. It is used to collect stormwater from the Tea Tree Gully area as it passes through both farmland and suburbs. After leaving the park the creek passes through housing developments, into wetlands and eventually to the Barker Inlet. The recreation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cobbler Creek Recreation Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
