Mari­no Con­ser­va­tion Park was a tra­di­tion­al rest­ing place of the Kau­r­na Peo­ples, how­ev­er, by the ear­ly 20th cen­tu­ry much of the area had been cleared for grazing.

Today, the park con­serves the last remain­ing stands of coastal heath veg­e­ta­tion along this part of the Ade­laide coast­line, form­ing a green buffer between the sub­urbs. The walk­ing trail and fire access tracks allow you to explore the park, tak­ing in its stun­ning scenic views over Brighton, Glenelg, Grange and the Mari­no Rocks Light­house. Dogs may be walked along these trails but must remain under your con­trol on a lead at all times.
