What are the best parks in Adelaide

The sheer number of Adelaide parks means you may not have time to see them all. It’s worthwhile adding a few to your sightseeing list though! While Adelaide may be known as the city of churches, the stunning park lands spread throughout the city offer a quiet spot to people-watch, to wander and admire, or to simply unwind for a few minutes.  Adelaide’s green belt features 29 individual parks that surround the inner city. Each park has its own personality with monuments, garden beds, and picnic areas spread throughout. Take some time to find one you love.

Adelaide Botanic Garden

Found in the heart of the city, the Adelaide Botanic Garden is home to a diverse array of native and exotic plant life. Stretching across 50ha of land, the garden has numerous walkways with stops along the way for admiring the various plant life. The Garden of Health, International Rose Garden, and Mediterranean Garden demonstrate the beauty and diversity of the plants found here.
