Help shape the future of the Adelaide Park Lands

• Enhance connections, access and movement.
• More and higher quality social infrastructure.
• Create a better path network.
• More native flora and fauna.
• Create more attractions / destinations.
• Make better use of smart technology.
• Recognise and celebrate Kaurna culture and heritage.
