Beautiful beachside park, take a walk out onto the jetty after you get off the tram, only $10 per day to travel. Pubs, bars, restaurant, a lovely esplanade walk/bike track. Bikes for hire, plenty of room on the beach or on the flat, beautiful grass - plenty to see & do; don't miss it!

I love Glenelg city and I love these parks and green areas along the coast. It's so welcoming all year round. Perfect for practicing sports, ride your bike, walk dogs, enjoy with family and friends. One of my favourite spots in the fascinating Adelaide! Love it ❤️

  • Brett Eldridge

What a beautiful spot! I headed to Adelaide and was told to take the train to Glenelg. So glad I did. Was a beautiful esplanade, with a great walking path. Lots of nearby restaurants and cafes. Was too cold to swim. Great spot to meet up with some friends.

  • NickSydney

Nice place to just relax just near Glenelg. This place is perfect for watching the sunset. Parking is not as difficult as Glenelg and also not as crowded. From here is a nice walk in the early morning or sundown with a path right along the beach.

Lovely place to go with the kids. Good long jetty, beautiful white sand, many different playground options, soft grass on long stretches for kids to play. Amazing sunset and lot of ice cream and fish & chips shops.

  • Stephen Coles

Nice grassed area overlooking the beach. With plenty of public BBQs for cooking and tables and chairs for seating and eating. You'll need to be prepared to carry your gear a reasonable distance from the car though.

  • Wayne Searle

It's just a long park parallel to the beach. A couple of benches and big conifers. Flat grass, what else defines a park? Couple of sculptures, the only thing unique about it is its location near the ocean.

  • Shambhu khadka

This is one of the best places in SA for Sunset. The park is right by the most popular beach of Adelaide, Glenelg beach. It is really nice even just for a walk in any evening with a clear sky.

From the Broadway Kiosk to the Glenelg Jetty this is one of the best sections of the Coast Park Trail. The park is long and narrow, lined with pines and edged on both sides by dual

  • Ben Reschke

Always tidy and looked after. Can be quite busy on a hot summers day. But there is plenty of space and other areas around to find your own little spot to soak up the sun.

  • Glenda Brown

Jimmy Melrose park acknowledges a famous pilot who also has a memorial at Stirling South Australia. On a sunny Spring day at the beach with no wind it is perfect

  • Harry D.

The footpath is nice for skating and jogging. Good area for picnics. I like the roundabout with Mosaic artwork about Jimmy's life as a pilot. Dog friendly.
