Cobbler Creek Recreation Park is a 266-hectare (657-acre) protected area located in South Australia about 19 kilometres (12 mi) north of the Adelaide city centre in the suburb of Salisbury East.

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.

[6] The park lies on the border between the dry northern Adelaide Plains and the wetter Mount Lofty Ranges.

William had been a shoe-maker in Cornwall and Adelaide and from his farm at Salisbury made shoes and boots for teamsters passing through carting ore to Burra.

He passed the property on, and his oldest son William IV farmed the land for many years with his wife Martha (Day) and their family.

The park was purchased by the Government of South Australia in 1970, as part of a program preserving open space for recreation.

The park's location was chosen to provide a development-free buffer between the existing suburbs of Salisbury and the proposed Golden Grove development.

[16] Cobbler Creek Recreation Park is administered and maintained jointly by the City of Salisbury, and the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources.

A volunteer group, Friends of Cobbler Creek, was formed in 1990 and works with rangers to improve and maintain the park.

To combat this hazard, and protect surrounding residential areas, annual burns are held particularly around the park's margins.

red-rumped parrots and crested pigeons are seen feeding on the ground and wattlebirds, musk lorikeets, noisy miners and honeyeaters in the flowering gums and along creeklines.
