The River Torrens Linear Park is one of Adelaide’s most significant multi-use recreational parks. Stretching almost 47 kilometres from the hills to the coast, the park forms the northern boundary of the City.
The park was originally created to reduce floodwaters but has since been developed to include picnic areas, playgrounds and paths for cyclists and pedestrians.
Most of the recreational facilities and paths have been in place for over 30 years, although many areas that have been upgraded or replaced during that period.
In 2019, the Council upgraded the 2.59 kilometres stretch of path that extends from Felixstow Reserve to Ninth Avenue and Battams Road, St Peters. The project was funded by the Australian Government as part of the Roads to Recovery Program.
