What to expect

The Adelaide Park Lands Trail is a series of connected walking and cycling trails that loop through or are adjacent to 27 parks and other historical locations within central Adelaide and North Adelaide. Using the River Torrens as a bisector allows the trail to be divided into a Southern Loop and a Northern Loop, which allows for more manageable walking distances over 2 days.

This walk will complete the Southern Loop of the trail (16km). The walk to complete the Northern Loop (9km) will take place on Sunday, 31st October 2021 (refer to the Walk Calendar to register separately for the Northern Loop event).

While city walking on a variety of flat bitumen, paved and unsealed paths will not appeal to everyone, these two events provide a great opportunity to walk a full loop of Adelaide while enjoying the park lands and other historical locations that make it such a unique city.

While this is not a difficult walk, it’s a long walk so wear appropriate clothing and footwear and carry sufficient water for the conditions on the day. Bring snacks / lunch to have at a couple of breaks along the way.

The aim of these walks is to introduce people to bushwalking, for those who are not regular walkers and those who have not walked in a group previously or who want a shorter walk. TrailStarter walks are usually close to Adelaide, have a walk time of about 3 to 4 hours and will generally be not too physically demanding. Anyone undertaking these walks may have only a modest degree of physical fitness. These walks generally occur on Saturdays or Sundays.

Registration terms and conditions

All walks are subject to you wearing appropriate clothing. Prime considerations are warmth and weather protection. Your safety and the safety of the walking group can be jeopardised by you wearing inappropriate clothing. In an emergency situation it can take hours to evacuate a sick or injured walker. Leaders may not accept people for a walk who have not come appropriately dressed or prepared.

If the forecast temperature for Adelaide is equal or higher than 32C, walks are cancelled. For simplicity, this can be determined the night prior to the walk from the 7.00 pm ABC News Adelaide weather forecast, based upon the Bureau of Meteorology’s routine 4pm forecast.

Your Walk Leader will send an email to all walkers advising the walk is cancelled. We suggest you check your emails before leaving to join the walk. Even if the forecast temperature is later revised, the walk remains cancelled. In such a case walk fees will be refunded.

If unforeseen circumstances arise and you are no longer able to participate in the walk, please cancel your registration as soon as possible using the Manage Walk Registrations facility on your Account page.

Alternatively you can notify the office by 2.15pm on the last business day before the walk. Walk leaders do not have access to messages left on the answering machine after this time. If your Walk Leader has provided their mobile phone number you may be able to contact them prior to the walk (subject to phone service availability).
