HASHTAGS #adelaideparklands

Half-park, half-cemetery: See a wetland with hidden trails and animal sculptures. Plus famous graves, and rare bush tucker plants.

Join Park Ambassadors Ted and Nate Jennings for a walk through the Park that has a split personality: half-park, half-cemetery.

Explore the fabulous wetland with hidden trails through extensive revegetation, bushland and bronze animal sculptures. Then, learn about some strange South Australian History with famous gravesites, war memorials, and lurking between the headstones, some of the rarest bush tucker plants on the Adelaide plains.

Children are most welcome. Bring your dog (on a lead). Wear sturdy shoes for a walk of about two hours duration.

Adelaide Park Lands Walking Tours

Guided Walks to explore little-known nooks and crannies of Adelaide’s greatest treasure: the unique open spaces of its Park Lands.

Adelaide is the only city in the world garlanded by Park Lands. In effect the city is built inside a park, and each part of the Park has its own unique features, heritage, and current usage.

Guided Walks are led by trained Tour leaders and can take between 90 minutes and two hours depending upon the location.
