For the next eight years, the State Government is planning “large-scale excavation works” on a massive 19 hectares of your Park Lands, including most of Bonython Park / Tulya Wardli (Park 27).

The land grab supposedly is needed to build a $3 billion dollar hospital and car park in your Park Lands.

You’re invited to our biannual Park clean-up day! Next Sunday, to kick off autumn, we’ll be collecting waste from around the Victoria Park wetlands, prior to our Guided Walk there in April, and the completion of wetland project works.

The exhibition is being prepared! After receiving a record number of entries this year, the Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize is gearing up for the finalists’ exhibition at the Adelaide Festival Centre.

Finalist artists, VIPs and sponsors have received invitations to the official opening, on Friday 24 March, when the prize winners will be announced.

A landmark in Hurtle Square / Tangkaira of your Adelaide Park Lands has been decorated in leaves, flowers, twigs and gumnuts, and twine.

It’s a botanical tribute to the artist who designed the landmark 20 years ago.

Hopes have been raised that your Helen Mayo Park might soon become more accessible as the City Council investigates whether to remove an ineffective wire fence.

The fence seemingly has no useful purpose, as it separates two parts of your Helen Mayo Park on the riverbank.

Most parts of your Adelaide Park Lands are still ‘Open Green, Public.’

But many other parts are not. Hundreds of parts have been taken from you, over the years, always for very good reasons, of course.

A State Parliamentary Committee wants your views no later than 24 February, on how to protect Adelaide’s trees.

We’ve made our submission, that the greatest threat to your Park Lands trees is coming from the State Government. Will you join us and reinforce that simple message?

In the lead-up to next month’s opening of the 2023 Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize exhibition, all finalist-selected artists will be invited to a Town Hall reception with the Lord Mayor, Jane Lomax Smith.

The Lord Mayor’s reception will come just days before the opening of the exhibition at the Festival Centre, when the prize-winners will be announced.

The perfect picnic spot within your Adelaide Park Lands is waiting for you and your partner, this Valentine’s Day. You can take your children, your dog, or relax with just your Valentine, on a picnic rug. We’ve got a three-minute video guide to help you choose the ideal location.

The Adelaide City Council has recognised overwhelming community support for protecting the Open Green Spaces of your Park Lands.

Despite intransigence from the State Government, the Council is now backing calls to re-think the proposed site of a new State Aquatic Centre.

If the State Government loved your Park Lands, it would help you get access to a part of your Park Lands that’s been off limits for the past three years.

However there seems to be no hurry to restore your Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi (Park 16) to Open Green Public any time soon.
