The largest of the named city parks, some 17 hectares, Bonython Park attracts many thousands of visitors each year. The Park, situated between Port Road and the River Torrens hosts Australian and international circuses and other events like the Schutzenfest in January.
The southern end of the park has two playgrounds, a boating lake which is used by model and sailing boat enthusiasts (subject to water restrictions), a kiosk and barbecues. The banks of the River Torrens offer visitors the opportunity to walk quietly, observing the wildlife. The native water rat (distinguished from the European rat by a yellow tipped tail) is plentiful and a variety of bird life can be observed including pelicans and black swans.
Bonython Park may be used for fetes, musical events, charitable functions, a wide range of other recreational activities and community events.
A kiosk is open during school holidays and on weekends during summer.
