A day in the park
There's plenty to keep everyone entertained in the Adelaide Park Lands.
Play
Pull on your thinking caps and put away the screens because the city’s playspaces are calling you to explore. The Adelaide Park Lands are home to unique playspaces where kids and families of all ages and abilities can have fun and be challenged.

BBQ lunch
Pick up some snags and fire up the barbie! You never need to travel too far to host a family feast with free barbecues dotted all throughout the park lands. There are barbecues accessible for wheelchair users at the Pityarilla Activity Hub.
.
Have a match
Bring a friend and your a-game to one of the many basketball, netball and tennis courts throughout the Adelaide Park Lands. It's free to play (just remember your ball and racket) and select courts have lighting so you can play after dark.
Pat a pup
More than just a treat for people, the Adelaide Park Lands are a fantastic resource for our four-legged friends. The Pityarilla Dog Park and the North Adelaide Dog Park are fenced areas filled with activities and open space for dogs to run.

Play golf
How many cities offer you golf on their doorstep? The North Adelaide Golf Course has long been a favourite for Adelaideans. There's a par 3 option for a family adventure. Plus it’s also a beautifully landscaped area for taking a stroll on paths.
