The Adelaide City Council has been seeking your feedback on a Draft National Heritage Management Plan for your Park Lands.

But what value is there in yet another planning document, when the State Government routinely disregards all existing Park Lands planning?

The State Government has backed away from its own warning, last month, that most of Bonython Park / Tulya Wardli would be subjected to construction activity over the next eight years.

The project team, planning to build a $3 billion hospital on Park 27 is playing down earlier Government advice that 19 hectares of your Park Lands would be subject to “large-scale excavation works” for the next eight years.

A two-million dollar State Government grant is likely to lead to a new two-storey sports building being erected on Mary Lee Park (Park 27B) off Park Terrace near Bowden.

There’s been no official announcement but there seems little doubt that the expansion will go ahead, subject to the West Adelaide Soccer Club getting approval for a new building design.

You can sleep in for an hour, on the first day after daylight saving ends, and still be in time to join the Park Loop collective: walk, run or cycle around Adelaide on the Park Lands Trail.

An additional hour’s sleep will help you feel energised for a stroll, starting at 9am around the world’s only City in a park; a jaunt of about 15 km with your fellow loopers!

With just days to go before the official opening, all of the finalists artworks in the 2023 Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize are now available for viewing on-line.

The exhibition at the Adelaide Festival Centre will open to the public from Saturday 25 March, after the invitation-only opening event and announcement of prizes on the evening before.

Work has already commenced in preparation for establishing a giant police compound in your Park Lands.

The Government’s sixth Park Lands attack in less than a year is set to destroy more than a decade of painstaking native re-vegetation by Bush for Life volunteers.

Our PRO-development movement is picking up momentum. After getting more than 2,500 signatures on a petition to the Premier, we’ll be making a splash on Saturday 18 March at Port Road Thebarton.

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.
