As a town planned to be in harmony with the environment, Adelaide is the first city designed to be completely encircled by Park Lands.
With multiple walking and cycling tracks, self-guided trails, sporting fields, playspaces, formal gardens and squares, wherever you are in the city you can quickly find yourself immersed in nature.
Dozens of events will take place in the city as a part of Nature Festival, and everyone is welcome to join in. Check out the map for all of your city-based options.
The Nature Festival is proudly supported by the Adelaide Economic Development Agency and the City of Adelaide.
