Botanic Park, Botanical garden in Adelaide, Australia

Botanic Park is a 34-hectare park in Adelaide's Northeast Parklands, bordered by Hackney Road and Frome Road. It lies next to the Adelaide Botanic Garden, the University of Adelaide, the University of South Australia, the old Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide Zoo and the River Torrens. An avenue of plane trees planted in 1874 lines its northern side, and century-old Moreton Bay figs from Queensland grow among other exotic species.

Botanic Park was acquired by the neighbouring Adelaide Botanic Garden in 1866. Before that, from 1844 to 1859, it hosted the Royal Adelaide Show. On 5 September 1880 it was the site of the first open-air meeting of The Salvation Army in Australia.

Since the 1890s the park has had its own Speakers' Corner, where public debate on many topics takes place; it continues today with less prominence than before. The park is also compared to London's Hyde Park. Today it is known for picnics, wedding-party photographs and events such as WOMADelaide, Gardens Alive and Moonlight Cinema.

Botanic Park is bordered by Hackney Road to the east and Frome Road to the west, with the Adelaide Zoo and River Torrens along its southern edge. The University of South Australia, University of Adelaide and the old Royal Adelaide Hospital stand next to the park. Enter from either road; the plane-tree avenue runs along the northern side.

The park's northern side has an avenue of plane trees planted in 1874, and century-old Moreton Bay figs from Queensland grow among other exotic species. It was also the site of the first open-air meeting of The Salvation Army in Australia on 5 September 1880.
