Thorndon Park Reserve
Dam / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thorndon Park Reserve is a public park in the Adelaide suburb of Paradise, South Australia. It was originally the site of the Thorndon Park reservoir, which was completed in 1860.[1] The reserve became accessible to the public for recreational use in 1986.[citation needed] It was redesigned in the 2000s[citation needed] and as of 2015 improvement works are ongoing.[2][3]
The reserve has picnic areas, barbecues, play equipment for children, large grassy areas, wheelchair-friendly walking paths, an amphitheatre, waterways and a terraced series of ponds and wetlands which support diverse native flora and fauna.[4] In 2014, the prospect of establishing a community orchard within the Thorndon Park Reserve was considered.[5] Dogs are not permitted in the park.[6]
