Cobbler Creek Recreation Park is quietly nestled between and meanders its way around the leafy suburbs of Golden Grove and Salisbury. The park is a peaceful place to wander through and unwind from city life and is popular with walkers and mountain bike riders.
For those who are intrigued and love ruins, it is home to a number of fabulous ruins such as the
Teakle Ruins along with an abundance of birds, bees and butterflies.
