I ride my bike along the linear park most weekends. Always people about walking, running and exercising their dogs. The upper reaches of the River Torrens linear park is my favorite. It has very natural settings with lots of water fowl and even koalas in the trees. Nice and cool in the mornings during summer as well.

This is a regular excursion for me, with 2-3 runs along the river every week. I'm at the top end around 20km from the city centre. In Summer Koalas are a regular sighting and the pathways are mostly concrete strip so nice and smooth. Rollerblading, cycling, walking and running are all very pleasant on this surface. It's possible to walk... More

We wandered the tracks both sides of the Torrens River on a couple of occasions this time in Adelaide. The weather was great and there are lots of things to see along the way. If you walk as far as the zoo and don't feel like walking back you can catch one of the tourist boats that ply the river.... More

This is a great weekend walk/ride around the Torrens lake and weir through to Adelaide uni but is also an excellent thoroughfare through to the beach. Just 25-30 minutes from the door-step of the CBD down to the Torrens outlet with Semaphore and Glenelg at your feet. Underpasses under all main roads, long corners and good (recently upgraded) paths allow... More

The path along the River is great to get away from the traffic. you can walk, stroll or jog and you will find many others have the same idea. its a really long trek and good for a short walk or an afternoon stroll. Water is not much to look at but lots of birds, ducks and even a couple... More

An hours walk from my Hotel in Hindmarsh Square taking in the walk along the Torrens was fantastic. I did it twice and within twenty minutes you are in beautiful bushland and peace.

Lovely walk in the sun during spring especially. Not the most spectacular walk but worth doing. This is a long track and goes right through the city. Get a coffee on the way, everyone else is believe me.

The walk along the river bank was easy, relaxing and pretty even though it was very dry. The fountain in the river, nice.

My Hb and I walk our dogs there every Sat and Sun morning. One of the best additions to Adelaide. My Hb rides to work along Linear Park every working day. How could adelaide ever do without LP.
