New patch feeds belonging

A new veggie patch in your Adelaide Park Lands is helping recently-arrived migrants lay roots in the community.

The ‘Global Garden’ is a therapeutic horticultural program within the Adelaide Botanic Garden.

Participants engage in “a powerful process of place-making, connection and belonging” by growing culturally significant food plants within the Kitchen Garden.

2023 Art Prize judges chosen

2023 Art Prize judges chosen

As one of the three richest art prizes in South Australia, the Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize has grown in stature since its first iteration in 2014.

As part of our preparations for the 2023 Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize, we are honoured to have reached agreement with five highly talented and qualified judges, who will form our judging panel.

Kate Cocks deserves better

Kate Cocks deserves better

Kate Cocks, MBE, was the first female police officer, not just in Adelaide, but in the entire British Commonwealth.

But the Park that is named in her honour is being treated like garbage.

Neither the City of Adelaide nor the State Government are showing any respect to the Park that honours a pioneering South Australian.

Crafting for a cause

Crafting for a cause

Many fascinating people frequent your Adelaide Park Lands. Among them is a Goodwood eco activist behind the craft blog, Local and Bespoke.

When Mary Heath is not cycling or running through the Park Lands, she’s collecting eucalyptus leaves for eco-printing and getting involved in fashion activism events.

Helen Mayo deserves better

Helen Mayo deserves better

South Australia's first female doctor would be turning in her grave if she knew how poorly the City Council and the former State Government were managing the Park named in her honour.

We’re on a mission to get this Park worthy of the name of Helen Mayo, and celebrated as part of your Open Green Public Adelaide Park Lands.
