River Torrens Linear Park Path

Stretching almost 47 kilometres from the hills to the coast, the River Torrens Linear Park is a popular spot for walking, running and cycling.

The River Torrens Linear Park is one of Adelaide’s most distinctive recreation spaces. In our City, the River Torrens Linear Park extends from Felixstow Reserve to Hackney.

Using the shared path:

  • use the shared path like you would a road—stick to the left and overtake on the right
  • if you’re walking a dog, keep them on a short leash on the path
  • if you’re cycling, don’t go too fast and keep a safe distance between yourself and any pedestrians you encounter, especially children and animals. Make sure your bike has a bell so you can alert others that you're coming

Please note: Dogs must be kept on a leash on all parts of the River Torrens Linear Park path in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters. If you’d like to let your dog off-leash, you can visit one of our ten off-leash parks or reserves

River Torrens Linear Park Path upgrades

The River Torrens Linear Park Path is being improved, as part of stage two of The River Torrens Linear Park Path Project, to provide a safer and more enjoyable experience for recreational users. 

In 2019, the Council enhanced the 2.59 kilometres stretch of path that extends from Felixstow Reserve to Ninth Avenue and Battams Road, St Peters. The pathway is now more appealing for all visitors to the park.
