Visitors to Sailsbury Precinct, South Australia, have the opportunity to explore the picturesque wetlands and swamps in the area. One of the main attractions is the Greenfields Wetlands, a constructed wetland situated in Salisbury, just 15 km from Adelaide's central business district. This wetland is renowned for its diverse ecosystem, housing over 25 species of aquatic plants and a variety of wildlife that call the water and its surroundings home. It is a favored spot for bird watching, photography, and leisurely picnics amidst nature.
The Greenfields Wetlands showcases a striking 12-meter tall boomerang sculpture named "Together Woven" and provides informative signage along its 1.3-kilometer trail. Guided tours can be arranged for community groups, sporting clubs, scouts, and small gatherings upon request. While entry to the wetlands is free, access to certain areas necessitates a key obtainable from The Watershed Café. The wetlands are open year-round from 8 am to 4 pm for visitors' enjoyment.
Access to the Greenfields Wetlands can be gained from Salisbury Highway at Mawson Lakes or Magazine Road at Dry Creek, and the site is accessible via public transportation as well. Visitors are encouraged to uphold environmental conservation practices by maintaining low noise levels, sticking to designated pathways, refraining from feeding wildlife, and ensuring the removal of any litter.
