Risdon Vale is an outer suburb of Hobart, capital of Tasmania, Australia. It is the location of Tasmania's only maximum security prison, Risdon Prison and Risdon Women's Prison. Risdon Vale also is close to Risdon Brook Park and Dam which offers a pleasant walking track round the dam of 4 km, taking in views of Mt Wellington and its surrounds. You can buy a nice ex government housing property in Risdon Vale for a much more affordable price than in some other suburbs of Hobart and it is only a short ride on the bus or by car to Hobart or Glenorchy.

It is surrounded by bushlands.
