Elder Park

Very spacious and centrally located green park in Adelaide. Almost close to everything: festival center, stadium, casino, school, malls and historical landmarks. Very famous park for where New Year Eve and Adelaide Day fireworks usually held. Situated right next at the Torrens River. Amusing rainbow light colors of Torrens Bridge is really nice to watchover from this park. As well as the city lights from high rise buildings within the area. With plenty of amusement and entertainment activities like water paddle boats, cruises and BBQ buoys. The is a family friendly park, great for outdoor bonding, with nice walking trails. Most of the historic statues and memorial monuments are located at the back side of this park.

Elder Park brings back excellent memories of lovely evening and early morning walks. The river Torrens, Adelaide festival arts centre, Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Casino, Adelaide Convention Centre, and North Terrace with museum and arts centre, are all within conveniently close distance. I am not sure if the Popeye ferry still runs up and down the Torrens ricer, but that also used to be part of this lovely part of Australia.

A great spot overlooking the river, where the grass is nice and lush and great for a picnic. There is a rotunda to relax in, but not many trees so on really hot days it isn’t ideal as no shade. Usually has some variety of things on during Ozasia festival or Fringe festival. You can get the popeye from the decking area, and there is also now DDA access to all festival centre and convention centre
