Despite launching six attacks this year on your Adelaide Park Lands, the State Labor Government has honoured one of its pre-election promises - to reverse the former Liberal Government's "entertainment" zoning of Helen Mayo Park.

This week marks a full four years since the State Heritage Council recommended your Open Green Public Park Lands for State Heritage listing.

Despite a fresh Opposition commitment to push for future World Heritage listing, the Park Lands are still facing State heritage obstruction from the State Government.

While the State Government is proposing to target your Open Green Public Park Lands for massive new buildings, an ideal brownfield building location, right next to your Park Lands, is going begging.

We’ve written to the Government, urging them to buy the old West End brewery site, so the can follow through on their promise to “protect and restore” your Park Lands.

There have been some strange sights in your Park Lands during recent days, with more changes on the horizon.

New lighting and pathways, a new soccer pitch, and some weird mounds of earth.

Unless you are a well-established professional artist, the process of entering any art prize might seem daunting.

However for any artist, including new or budding hopefuls, entering the Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize is a uniquely valuable opportunity: for personal, professional, social, community, and environmental reasons.

Heavy rain and mud marred the Harvest Rock festival in your eastern Park Lands on 19 and 20 November.

Grassed areas of Rymill Park / Murlawairrpurka (Park 14) and King Rodney Park / Ityamai-itpina (Park 15) were churned up by the crowd, but that didn’t seem to dampen spirits.

Who will back heritage listing and world promotion of your Park Lands, as a driver of economic development?

At a time when the State Government is relentlessly attacking your Park Lands, it is Park Lands advocates and protectors who have been endorsed by voters.

If so, let them know about an opportunity to enter one of South Australia’s most prestigious Art Prize competitions for FREE.

The process of getting a new law passed by Parliament is usually slow and cumbersome.

However, the most serious new law affecting your Adelaide Park Lands went through all stages in the Legislative Council in less than three hours.

This new law gives two State Government Ministers unfettered powers to confiscate any of your Park Lands that they want.

State Government spin doctors (and some media allies) have been busy with smoke and mirrors, trying to cloud the truth about multiple Park Lands attacks (five this year so far).

Like magicians who divert your attention to create an illusion, State Government misinformation is hiding the truth about massive losses to your Open Green Public Park Lands.

Visitors to Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi (Park 16) have been expressing surprise at the extent of new paved roadways, laid over what were previously dirt tracks.

Although the freshly-laid bitumen will last for decades, it has been laid for a very temporary purpose: to prop up a taxpayer-subsidised carbon emission festival for only four days per year, and only until 2026.

After more than a year’s gestation, the little sister to the Victoria Park wetlands has now been born, complete with newly-established reed beds, widened creek line, and trails.
