Torrens Linear Park Circuit

1h to 1h 45 min 2

20min to 45min 4.1 km ↑ 35 m Easy track Circuit ↓ 35 m 45min to 2h Starting from the Elder Park Rotunda on King William Road, Adelaide, this walk takes you on a circuit along River Torrens via the Torrens Linear Park Trail. The Rotunda in Elder Park was erected in 1882 and is a well known Adelaide landmark. Elder Park is located between the City of Adelaide and North Adelaide on the banks of the River Torrens. The River Torrens, a scenic backdrop for the trail, is a haven for a variety of bird and plant life and flows steadily from the hills to the ocean. The Torrens Linear Park Trail provides beautiful views of the river, its wildlife and the city. Highlights along the route include the Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Convention Centre, North Adelaide Golf Club, Tennis Centre and Adelaide Oval. Barbecue facilities, picnic areas and playgrounds are regular features. Toilet facilities and water stations are available at many locations along the trail. There is consistent signage throughout, approximately every kilometre, identifying the Linear Park Trail intersections and exits, making it easy to stay on the track. This is a very popular trail used by walkers, runners and cyclists. It is suitable for prams, wheelchairs and children. With paths on both sides of the river, this route is a great combination of green space, water views, and Adelaide attractions. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
