About Bonython Park
Bonython Park, also known as Tulya Wardli, sits on the north-western edge of the River Torrens in Adelaide. This 17-hectare outdoor space is a versatile venue that hosts large-scale events—from cultural festivals like Schützenfest to blockbuster performances such as Cirque du Soleil. There isn’t a fixed seating chart for the park because setups vary by event, but seating or lawn areas are arranged according to each show's specifications. If you’re planning a visit, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transport, and nearby hotels and eateries.
As you plan your experience, remember that Bonython Park is an active space with family-friendly amenities, including the Bonython Park Adventure Playspace, a model boat pond, and multiple playground and picnic facilities. The park’s Kaurna name is Tulya Wardli, reflecting its cultural significance in the local context.
Getting there is straightforward thanks to the nearby Glenelg tram line, which services tram stops close to Bonython Park along Port Road. Parking around Port Road exists, with informal car parks historically discussed for restoration to park land. For visitors driving in, it’s wise to arrive early or check event-specific guidance for parking availability.
