Adelaide Park Lands Trail
The Adelaide Park Lands Trail is a 19.5km loop around the city that families can explore by foot or on bikes.
The City of Adelaide is surrounded by beautiful park lands and there is a family friendly trail 19.5km long that loops right around the city. You can choose to explore all of it at once or a sections at a time on foot or by bike. The trail showcases our unique Park Lands and the footpath is marked by large blue dots on the ground.
The 19.5 km loop is all on a sealed footpath and a cycle of the trail can take approximately two hours. It’s a great activity for older kids confident on a bike, or for young families who just want to ride a small section. The majority of the trail is also pram friendly and dogs can be walked on a lead.
Watch the video below to see the entire loop in just over four minutes.
There’s so much to see on the park lands trail with plenty of places to stop for rest, a play at a park or a bite to eat. You could easily make a day of it there’s so much to see and do.
There are 8 stops marked on the map (but you’ll find many more along the trail):
- Pityarilla Activity Hub / Marshmallow Park
