Torrens Parade Ground, Military training facility in Adelaide, Australia
The Torrens Training Depot features a symmetrical layout with classical motifs and Art Deco elements along King William Street and Kintore Avenue.
The grounds served as a mustering point for South Australian troops heading to the Boer War, World War One, and World War Two.
The 10th Battalion, originally known as Adelaide Rifles, maintained strong connections to the facility during their campaigns in Gallipoli and France.
The Department for Environment and Water manages the venue, which accepts reservations for events through email at DEW.TorrensParadeGround@sa.gov.au.
The site originated as a quarry, providing stone and fill materials for the construction of governmental structures in Adelaide.
