Features
Within the suburb is the Happy Valley Reservoir accompanied by South Australia's largest water treatment plant, responsible for supplying water to much of the Adelaide metro area.
Although it is now surrounded by suburbs, it remains a relatively semi-rural character due to retention of native flora and vegetation surrounding the Reservoir, as well as parklands and golf courses along its border.
