Rundle Park (Park 13)

Rundle Park (Park 13) sits along Rundle Road and East Terrace, on the eastern edge of the Adelaide CBD within the city's celebrated parklands. A lovely green space, it's part of the ring of parkland that surrounds the city — combining open lawns, mature trees, walking and cycling paths and gardens with a convenient location right by the city's East End.

The appeal is that combination of pleasant, open green space and a handy central location: room to walk, picnic, relax or exercise, all within easy reach of the city and the buzzing East End. It's a popular spot for a stroll, a run, a picnic or some time outdoors, and a frequent venue for events and festivals on the city fringe.

With a 4.7 rating from nearly 400 reviews, it's a much-loved part of the parklands. The park is free and open year-round, but facilities and any events vary, so it's worth checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a walk, a picnic, a run or some time outdoors on the edge of the city, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Rundle Park in Adelaide.
