Join us for a Guided Walk through the Park that is best-known as the site of the annual ‘Garden of Unearthly Delights’. This Park was once a despised rubbish dump and a quagmire. Learn about the huge efforts as early as the 1880’s to turn it into a much-loved outdoor venue space, as well as this Park’s role providing air raid shelters in WW2. Wear sturdy shoes for a walk of just over 1.5 km; 75 to 90 minutes duration. Children are very welcome. Dogs are also welcome, but on a lead, please.

A two-hour Guided Walk, learning about one of the best-loved parts of the Park Lands, along the banks of the Torrens, home to a variety of public art works, significant heritage trees, University facilities, many ducks, and much more. Features include the first arboretum in South Australia, the memorial to Forgotten Australians, Peace Park, Angas Gardens, Grundy Gardens and the Pioneer Women’s Memorial Garden. Wear sturdy shoes for a walk of just over 2km, around two hours duration. Dogs are welcome, but on a lead, please.

Despite that fact that our petition on Change.org is rapidly approaching 50,000 signatures the tree felling continues.

And We know the Eastern Park Lands are next, so we on Friday we will hold another rally with the theme“ Stop the Chop - Never Again”.

Never again will we allow a State Government to destroy your Park Lands.

Please join us at Parliament House on Friday 22nd May at 5.30 for our - Stop the Chop: Never Again Rally.

Bring your signs, your voice and your passion to show your support and help us end the attacks on your Park Lands.

Once again it is important to refrain from personal attacks, they will only distract from our core message.

Thank you for your support.

“Join Mij and Heidi for a hands-on creative workshop to make spectacular costume headpieces for our upcoming campaign and public actions. We’re incredibly lucky to have secured the support of a talented local creative and maker who will guide us through the design and construction process. 📅 Saturday 27 June ⏰ 10.00am – 1.00pm 📍 CBD location (details provided upon confirmation) As places are limited, this first workshop is best suited to people who already have some practical creative skills — for example sewing, costume making, craft, sculpting, prop making or similar — and who are comfortable working independently with guidance. We’re looking to bring together a team of makers who can help create bold, beautiful and impactful pieces. Please don’t be discouraged if you’re new to making or crafting — we’ll be running additional workshops in the coming weeks specifically designed for beginners and anyone keen to learn, with plenty of opportunities for everyone to get involved. If this sounds like you, please RSVP as soon as possible as numbers are strictly limited.”

This Park has many thousands of regular visitors, but few who know its hidden treasures. Join us to discover the 1914 memorial oak, the breeding grounds of waterbirds, and the history of Park losses as sporting bodies and Government corporations have fenced off or built over many parts of this Park. The tour includes Pennington Gardens West, Pinky Flat, Stella Bowen Park, Creswell Gardens, and Light’s vision on Montefiore Hill

Coffee. Bikes. Nature. Good company. High caffeine, low stakes. Break up your working week and join us for our Coffee Outside event! Coffee Outside is an international movement that started around a decade ago in California with the aim of bringing the cycling community together to talk bikes, coffee and adventure. Since then, it has spread around the globe, and in 2025, reached Adelaide! The premise is simple. Bring yourself, your bike, and a beverage of choice to the designated meeting spot at the designated time. Hang out with other people and their bikes and drink said beverages together. That’s it. Coffee’s in the name and we encourage people to go nuts. Want to bring your camp stove, grinder and moka pot and make everything there? How about hot water and an aeropress? Instant coffee? A thermos of batch you made at home? Tea? Fruit juice? Whatever it is, we don’t care, so long as you like it. We look forwards to sharing in this new event with you and hope to see you there!

Many people care deeply about protecting our Park Lands and public spaces but feel uncertain about getting involved because they don’t understand their rights, responsibilities, or the legal framework surrounding peaceful protest. This training has been created to help people feel informed, confident, and empowered when participating in peaceful, non-violent community action. Come and learn about your options, understand your rights, and discover how you can contribute safely, responsibly, and effectively as part of a strong, united community presence. The session will cover practical considerations around non-violent protest, safety, understanding your rights and responsibilities, and the different levels of participation available. Our aim is not confrontation. It is to build a calm, informed, respectful, and coordinated community response that allows people to stand together peacefully in support of the causes they care about. “Our collective strength comes not from a small number of people taking risks, but from a large number of people standing together with clarity, confidence, and a shared commitment to protecting the places we care about.” 📍 Venue details provided upon registration 🎟 FREE EVENT – REGISTRATION ESSENTIAL For full event details and registration, please visit: 🌐 protectourparklands.com.au

Ellis Park / Tampawardli (Park 24) is best known as a venue for soccer and cricket. But it has some hidden remnants of rare native vegetation and is a key part of the Park Lands trail. One of the main features of this walk will be learning what USED to be here and is now long-forgotten.

Meet at the entrance to Adelaide High School on West Tce. Children welcome. Dogs on leads are welcome.
