The largest of the named city parks, some 17 hectares, Bonython Park attracts many thousands of visitors each year. The Park, situated between Port Road and the River Torrens hosts Australian and international circuses and many other events like the Schutzenfest in January.
The southern end of the park has two playgrounds, a boating lake which is used by model and sailing boat enthusiasts, a kiosk and barbecues. The banks of the River Torrens offer visitors the opportunity to walk quietly, observing the wildlife. The native water rat (distinguished from the European rat by a yellow tipped tail) is plentiful and a variety of bird life can be observed including pelicans and black swans.
Both Elder Park and the city centre are a comfortable 15 to 20 minute walk along the foot/cycle path on the southern bank of the river.
The northern part of the Park, on the other side of the river is frequently used for a variety of horse shows and displays. Vehicular access is from a gate at Park Terrace.
Bonython Park may be used for fetes, musical events, charitable functions, a wide range of other recreational activities and community events.
A kiosk is open during school holidays and on weekends during summer. Visit our website for more information.
