Fort Glanville Conservation Park

Fort Glanville Conservation Park combines a nineteenth-century coastal fortification with natural areas that support local wildlife populations.

The fort, constructed in 1880, formed part of South Australia's first colonial fortifications to protect Port Adelaide from naval threats.

The Fort Glanville Historical Association maintains military traditions through regular demonstrations of artillery drills and weapon operations.

Visitors can access the park via public transport or car, with designated parking areas and picnic facilities available throughout the grounds.

The site maintains three functional nineteenth-century cannons, including two rifled muzzle-loading 10-inch guns weighing 20 tons each.
