More and more people are stepping up to urge construction of a new Aquatic Centre on a near-city brownfield site, rather than on your Park Lands.

Two separate campaigns are under way: one to persuade the State Government; the other to persuade the City Council. The aim of both campaigns: PROTECT and RESTORE.

Work is due to commence shortly to rectify some persistent problems affecting the $13 million dollar wetlands in the southern part of Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi (Park 16).

South-east city residents have expressed concern about long delays in fixing pathways, irrigation and signage.

As the deadline approaches for entries to the 2023 Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize, some words of advice have come from someone who’s learned how to succeed, with works inspired by your Park Lands.

$20,000 first prize-winner from 2021, Dan Withey has offered his thoughts to those hoping to emulate his success this year.

Deputy Premier, Susan Close, has stopped short of offering any timeline for long-delayed action to list your Adelaide Park Lands as a State Heritage Area.

More than four years after a State Heritage Council recommendation, the State Government is still relying on the same tired excuses for its failure to act.

It’s possible for a single artwork to win more than one prize in this year’s Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize. Categories include young artists, digital artists, First Nations artists, new (emerging) artists and others.

With 16 prizes on offer, and a total of $50,000 in prize money, your art work could win, if it INSPIRES.

If you Love Your Park Lands, like we do, you might occasionally hear criticism from people who have latched onto a Park Lands myth.

This month, we’re MYTH-BUSTING the claim that “car parking is a legitimate use of Park Lands.”

Premier Peter Malinauskas has been urged to intervene to RESTORE and PROTECT Denise Norton Park / Pardipardinyilla (Park 2) in response to growing public demand. The site that the Government has announced for a new Aquatic Centre does not reflect public opinion.

It seems that nearly every sporting group that uses your Adelaide Park Lands wants to have their own two-storey building.

The latest claim for a two-storey building is coming from Volleyball SA.

The newly-elected City Council has called on the State Government to support a "long-term strategy" to restore lost areas of your Adelaide Park Lands.

The City Council has signalled it wants a pro-active strategy to prioritise support for your Open Green Public garland of Parks.

Your Adelaide Park Lands are listed as a National Heritage place, but until now that has afforded them zero protection from a stream of State Government assaults.

However, Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has signalled that might be about to change, under a proposed new Federal Environment Protection Agency.

Last month’s re-zoning of Helen Mayo Park has fallen short of the Labor Government’s promise of “full protection”. A large part of this Park is still at risk of being lost under new buildings of up to 20 storeys.
