Formerly known as Loftia Recreation Park, this charming Adelaide Hills park was renamed in 1996 to recognize the contribution made to conservation by the late Sir Mark Oliphant. There is a real camping and community feel to the place with a sports oval, lawned areas and barbecues. Groups may hire the Wagon Camp camping facility. The reserve contains many native species of animals and plants. Near the oval stands a grove of tall, white-barked gum trees known as candlebark. Such trees are quite rare and found only in areas of higher rainfall.
