The 51ha park is located 22 km south of Adelaide and is accessible via Main South Road, Majors Road, Lonsdale Road then turning right onto The Cove Road. The Park is within easy walking distance of the Hallett Cove and Hallett Cove Beach railway stations. The three main entrances to the park are all serviced by an interpretative walking trail. Admission is free.

Hallett Cove is one of Australia’s most outstanding geological and archaeological sites, recording evidence of an Australian ice age some 280 million years ago and providing a treasure chest of more than 1,700 Aboriginal artefacts. Magnificently developed glacial pavements along the northern cliff tops are recognised as the best record of Permian glaciation in Australia and have international significance. The park also conserves native flora and fauna and has a beach for swimming and fishing.
