We look after the world’s only city in a park, thoughtfully and purposefully designed with people in mind. Our Park Lands and squares are essential to our neighbourhoods and communities.

Rymill Park / Murlawirrapurka (Park 14) provides both a place to relax and a place to celebrate. The strength of its landscapes make the Park a year-round attraction and places it at the heart of Adelaide’s festivals and events.

Thank you to the organisations, groups and Master Plan individuals who generously contributed to this Master Plan. Rymill Park / Murlawirrapurka (Park 14) (the Park) has been identiﬁed as a place with great potential and ideal for ‘re-imagining’. Given the recent changes to the Park, a master plan presents the opportunity to build on its success as an engaging and activated city destination to attract growing numbers of visitors to the Park Lands.

The Rymill Park / Murlawirrapurka (Park 14) Master Plan (the Master Plan) is co-funded by the City of Adelaide and the State Government. Full implementation of the Master Plan will be dependent on future funding to the Park.

In recognition of its signiﬁcance, the ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout’ (The Layout) is included on the National Heritage List.

The Layout is a signiﬁcant example of early colonial planning which has retained key elements of its historical layout for over 180 years.

Human interventions have accentuated the topography of the Park - perhaps Existing Views and Topography more than any other in the Park Lands system - giving the Park a striking point-of-difference, where sharp embankments and views down to low- lying water bodies are rare landscape features (albeit man-made) in Adelaide’s flat plain landscape. The slopes and plateaus, when combined with the tree-lined avenues and artificial boating lake and island, imbue the Park with a distinctly European romantic sensibility, suggesting future landscape gestures that potentially provide the Park with a unique character, all the while remaining an important link in the ring of Park Lands.

The formal avenues of Melia are in decline and require replacement, while the Platanus avenue adjacent the Bowling Club and Rose Gardens retain a strong character and presence in the Park. The Bowling Club planting consists of predominately palms and a dense hedge of Viburnum that screens the Club and blocks views to the Park. A number of the incidental, infill tree plantings, such as the Pittosporum, , Homolanthus,Homolanthus, Melaleuca and Callistemon plantings, do not offer much amenity in terms of planting cohesion and could be considered for removed. The formal Rose Gardens and Wisteria arbour are well maintained while the mixed exotic planting around the perimeter requires strengthening. The creek line was recently slightly realigned and reinforced to accomodate the new O-Bahn Tunnel.

The Park is bound on all four sides by highly trafficked city streets and on-street parking located on all four streets which greatly assists with park visitation but impacts strongly on the visual and noise environment quality at the Park’s edges. Site Appreciation Adelaide Metro buses service all four sides of the Park and the new O-Bahn Tunnel delivers travellers from the north-eastern suburbs under the Park to the Grenfell Street intersection with East Terrace. The eastern-most stop in the new City Tram Line Existing Access and Circulation extension will terminate at the old RAH site on North Terrace, with plans to extend the line directly past the Park to Norwood and the city’s east. Existing Access and Circulation The current arrangement of pedestrian paths criss-cross the Park, loosely following historic alignments with subsequent ad hoc additions and deletions occurring as deemed necessary. The Adelaide Park Lands Trail crosses the centre of the Park linking with Rundle Park / Kadlitpina (Park 13) to the north and King Rodney Park / Ityamai-itpina (Park 15) to the south.

A path network with grades at less than 1:20 fall can be amended, with relatively simple further development of the design, to provide access to the central lake and playground areas from the on-street parking on Rundle Road, Dequetteville Terrace and Bartels Road (from the north, east and south respectively). Due to the existing natural embankment (shown yellow) on the western side of the site, amendments to the existing paths to ensure DDA-compliant grades will be more difficult and would likely require substantial regrading of the immediate site topography.

ProposedMaster Lighting Plan

Lighting The Park is proposed to be sufficiently and beautifully lit in selected locations, to allow for increased safety and night time activation. The better lit and more people who use the Park at night, the safer it will be. The Park’s lighting is to meet the required P lighting levels, with use of City of Adelaide approved fittings, and by upgrading existing fittings as required.
