Adelaide Park Lands, Public parkland in Adelaide, Australia
The Adelaide Park Lands form a continuous green belt of 930 hectares surrounding Adelaide's central business district, creating natural boundaries between city and suburbs.
Colonel William Light designed these park lands in 1837 as part of Adelaide's original city plan, establishing a framework for public recreation and community spaces.
Throughout the year, the parklands host numerous festivals, markets, and community gatherings, serving as a central location for Adelaide's outdoor social activities.
Visitors can access multiple walking trails, cycling paths, sports facilities, and picnic areas across different sections of the parklands through various entry points.
The park lands represent the world's first planned urban green belt, forming a figure-eight pattern that encompasses both the north and south sections of Adelaide.
