How would Adelaide have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic if we did not have a garland of Open Green Public spaces around the City?

A third site within your Park Lands has been commandeered for a COVID-19 response facility.

Adelaide is the world's only City in a Park, but seems to be turning into a City in a car park.

Last month the North Adelaide Golf Club expanded hard surface car parking into Possum Park / Pirltawardli (Park 1) off Strangways Terrace, apparently without getting endorsement from the Park Lands Authority or the City Council.

The Park Lands need so-called “activation” says the deputy chair of Green Adelaide. But do Open Green Public spaces really need more concrete, bricks, fences, gates, and locked doors to restrict entry? Wannabe Park Lands developers want you to fall for the trap of ephemeral “vibrancy”

Despite an overwhelming vote of public support for your Open Green Public Adelaide Park Lands, the State Government is pressing ahead with attacks that will destroy Helen Mayo Park and other Riverbank park sites.

Although 87 percent of respondents wanted protection for Open Green Public Park Lands, Minister Josh Teague is defiant in declaring an ‘Entertainment Zone” that will lead to destruction of hundreds of mature trees.

Construction of the new wetland in the southern portion of Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi (Park 16) is progressing well and set to continue into the New Year.

At the same time, major earthworks to upgrade the South Park Lands Creek are on hold over the summer, after getting under way during October in the nearby Blue Gum Park / Kurangga (Park 20)

Only days after Adelaide was declared a National Park City, with a wish for “higher expectations” the State Government has reaffirmed its intention to attack your Park Lands.

Newly installed Planning Minister Josh Teague has announced his decision to rezone huge areas of riverbank Park Lands for development.

SA's new Planning Minister Josh Teague is about to make the biggest decision in the 184-year history of your Adelaide Park Lands.

Mr Teague will decide the fate of riverbank Park Lands totalling 35 times the size of Adelaide Oval, but he won’t accepting a meeting with community representatives, and all public feedback, and advice delivered to him will be secret until after he’s made his decision.

It’s time to re-green the Torrens Parade Ground. The State Government is seeking your feedback on this bitumen-paved part of your Adelaide Park Lands, but you have only until Friday 17 December to respond..

The Adelaide City Council is about to start removing at least some of this green duckweed which has discoloured the Torrens Lake over the past few weeks.

The Council is trying to balance the appearance of the River, with the environmental benefits the duckweed brings to water quality and to the waterbirds.
