What's not to love about Elder Park. Great views of the city of Adelaide. Always amazing festivals, concerts and city get togethers. The manicured park with a heritage gazebo, the Torrens River, foot bridge with waterfall all make this a great space. Highly recommended

We come here every few years for either Australia Day or New Years because it is just such a great place to be a part of. Also a great spot for the fireworks and the live shows as celebrations

Has improved over the years. Such a lovely spot. Accessible via public transport, limited street parking. Love that events are run throughout the year and highlights how great things SA has to offer. No toilets nearby

Elder Park is one of the most famous parks in Adelaide. Various large-scale events are often held here, such as New Year's Eve performances and fireworks show. This is the widest and most beautiful section of Torrens River. Water projects such as Paddle Boats and BBQ Buoys are very interesting.

Worth a visit for new years! Gets a big crowded so go early. Food trucks were a bit meh!

I come here pretty often but most recently for the lucky dumpling festival. Such a massive park for nature and environment . Great view of the river and it’s an amazing place to have a picnic. Amazing for New Year’s Eve fireworks as well. Great place to take kids to for fun or for a date. Good place to have a walk.

When we visited Elder park, the OzAsia Festival or the Dumpling Festival was going on. The park is very neat and we'll maintained. It was lit with thousands of lanterns. The lake besides added beauty to it. Also we could see the Adelaide Oval from the park which is amazing at night and is lit with rainbow coloured lights.

Very spacious and centrally located green park in Adelaide. Almost close to everything: festival center, stadium, casino, school, malls and historical landmarks. Very famous park for where New Year Eve and Adelaide Day fireworks usually held. Situated right next at the Torrens River. Amusing rainbow light colors of Torrens Bridge is really nice to watchover from this park. As well as the city lights from high rise buildings within the area. With plenty of amusement and entertainment activities like water paddle boats, cruises and BBQ buoys. The is a family friendly park, great for outdoor bonding, with nice walking trails. Most of the historic statues and memorial monuments are located at the back side of this park.

Nice park for a walk on a sunny day. Plenty of things to see😊 update fireworks display on new years eve 2024 best view for watching the fireworks display 9pm and 12am

Like it

The new year fireworks display was breathtaking. Thousands of people gathered at elder park grounds to welcome the new year. The band was playing enthusiastically throughout the night. Had a really great time. Probably the best free new year experience anyone can have it the city of Adelaide.

Beautiful place

Went to Carol's by Candlelight, paid $70 for Gold class ticket. It rained the whole time, couldn't use the ticket. They should have Gold Class under cover in wet weather, we pay enough for the tickets!

Spent New Years Eve here for both 9 pm and midnight fireworks. Lots of fun. Easy place to get to.

A great place to visit for relaxation and time outdoors. Gorgeous at night with all the RGB glowing over the bridge. In the day time the view is just as beautiful with a river running through the park.

The air is fresh, the atmosphere is filled by the green and beautiful tree. Highly recommend for those who want to go there and have a talk, picnic with your friends as well as family 👍🏻

We always go for walks by the river and it's so relaxing. The facility is well maintained. Our recent visit was to the Dumpling market

Elder Park brings back excellent memories of lovely evening and early morning walks. The river Torrens, Adelaide festival arts centre, Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Casino, Adelaide Convention Centre, and North Terrace with museum and arts centre, are all within conveniently close distance. I am not sure if the Popeye ferry still runs up and down the Torrens ricer, but that also used to be part of this lovely part of Australia.

Great park in the centre of Adelaide CBD open for walks, events etc. We recently attended the OZAsia festival and it was organised well as the park provides ample space for visitors.

The superb place we covered evening and night times at 31st but no fireworks due to this covid a bit disappointing. Overall I enjoyed walking and relaxing at this place spent more than 2hrs.

Elder park is very beautiful. Located off-center in the lake is a fountain. Swans swam gracefully across the lake. When we stroll past tinkling fountains and perfumed gardens, is enjoyable.

Magical night time place with city lights everywhere....central to everything along the Torrens

Beautiful park for a walk or jog, with some of the most fabulous views of Adelaide. Some of our wildlife is always here, close to cafes for those wanting a cuppa. Love it.

It’s really a festival hub.

I love Adelaide and I love Elder Park. This is a place where you can enjoy nature while visiting the city. Walks along the river, beautiful city views which look quite futuristic to me as Adelaide is being transformed. It gets even more romantic at night.

Great for walking, exploring, bird watching. Lovely places for all ages. Play areas, handy for food and coffee

Nice park and river view in the middle of the city 🌆

Nice place for a stroll, there are the paddle boats the ones u use ur feet to power at the river to hire. Just a place to sit enjoy a breather and relax

Good facilities, beautiful packages, good walking and cycling lanes along the river. Great place for larger functions. Good photo scenes, foot bridge from one side of the river providing access from Adelaide festival centre to Adelaige Oval. Very little free parking unless you are willing to walk a distance, else ticket parking available around surrounding streets or parking complexes at the festival centre or behind. Will worth spending a day pinicing by the river or for walks.

A very beautiful location at the heart of the city. This place itself is beautiful. Also various types of multicultural programs are happening through out the year. Some are even free entry. So a great opportunity to experience others culture, taste different cuisine and explore different music. If you are lucky, may get the opportunity to see fireworks ‌, mostly organise by event people, so it's not guaranteed. Easy access by tram, train, car, cycle. Enjoyable for all ages. The cityscape looks beautiful.

Went to Lucky Dumpling Market. Park was set up great with a lot of shaded seating. Unfortunately TMR Dumplings charged me $19 for a small half bowl of rice!!! That ruined the experience

Huge open park with multiple bridges. The place is often used for major events and is a good cycle route. The main paths are well lit and the bridge has coloured lights at night. There’s a massive river going through the park that is often used by people in canoes or rowing teams

Large expansive very well maintained field. The grass was cut clean and it was just a joy to walk around.

Beautiful park for beautiful events. Magnificent lake views and can see oval as well. Highly recommended

Nice place to hang around, and access ramps are another beautiful part of this place.

Fantastic place to spend your free times specially amazing place for running

This year for the new year's event at elder park, the lawn got blocked off and entry denied as there were supposedly too many people. Although it is understandable it was still quite a let down as some people got denied access even though the rest of their families were inside and they were not. Although, the fireworks were pretty amazing and I look forward to better arrangements next new year's eve.

nice place!

Love how clean it was

Lovely day in the park. Clean & tidy.

Nice event area

Great place.

So beautiful love this part of Adelaide

Lovely place with a nice view

Great place for a family day out. We went on the Popeye cruise first and then the kids went on Captain Jolley's paddleboats.

It was a beautiful weather and the place is so relaxing and serene

Nice place. ❤❤❤

Great for picnics and walks

Sit and relax

green

Awesum...lucky dumpling annual event

A beautiful place to walk along. I went there when it has a dumpling market festival. Love it!

Elder park is one of Adelaide's best known and most popular public recreational facilities. The lawned area lies between the Festival Centre, King William St and the River Torrens, on the opposite side of the river to Adelaide Oval. It's the venue for many major public events including New Year"s fireworks, Christmas carols and ethnic festivals. And it has an ornate Victorian era rotunda and a dock where you can catch the Pop Eye sightseeing boat or a much smaller paddle boat.

a nice place to spend a day.

The entrance queue was very long since we went on Saturday around 7.00pm. A whole variety of cuisines to try. It's a good idea to carry a sheet to spread on the grass so you can sit and relax while someone from your group stands in line to purchase the food. as all the seating was full. Reasonable rates but small portions. Overall, it was a good family outing.

Coming on quite nice, it will be even better when its finished

A classic Adelaide icon and the centre piece of many Adelaide festivals, the Elder Park Rotunda is likely to outlive most of us gracing Adelaide with its classic Victorian Design for many years to come.

Great for kids and fitness

Beautiful place to visit the lights and reflections at night are just incredible

I could not get an uber waiting for the footy buses to leave. Seriously why block the road for that long.

Lovely location to spend time in the spring evening

Nice and clean. Was a lovely day for a walk.

Beautiful

Lovely parkland with the Torrens River to add to holiday fun. Loads of activity on the water. Beautiful day. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good

Few of the major events happen here, like new year celebrations. This is beside oval and Karrawirra Parri river. You have free parking for approximately 3hrs on the other side of road in the intersection of king william rd and Victoria Dr. There is festival plaza tram station very near by and bus stops as well.

Cashless.......My cash was worth zilch

Nice experience with the Ozasia food fest

Oz Asia Festival...Great Location...Not Enough Shaded Areas To Enjoy The Festivities...Walked In River Gate And Straight Out King William St Exit...Shaded Areas Had People Packed In Like Sardines...Disappointing..

So beautiful and so clean

Awesome setting

Peaceful
