Coast Park

Stage One - Semaphore Park to West Lakes Shore

About the Project

The South Australian Government established a Linear Park along Adelaide’s metropolitan coastline between Semaphore Park and West Lakes Shore. This decision paves the way for a continuous shared-use path, similar to those seen along other sections of the coastline.

Coast Park Stage One incorporates a 1.3-kilometre Shared Use Path between Third Avenue Semaphore Park and Wara Wayingga-Tennyson Dunes Conservation Reserve.

The Shared Use Path is accessible, approximately 3m wide and constructed of a hard surface (concrete), providing convenient, safe access for people of all ages and abilities to walk and cycle along the coast.

The Coast Park project is jointly funded by the Department for Trade and Investment via the Planning and Development Fund, as well as the City of Charles Sturt. The Planning and Development Fund provides the means for open space and public realm investment across South Australia and allows the Minister for Planning to acquire, manage and develop land for open space including providing grant funding opportunities for local government.

The path has been constructed in an environmentally safe manner with consideration of the sensitive nature of the dunes and nearby residents.

An extensive community consultation process was completed and feedback informed the final design.

Coast Park Stage Two - Tennyson to Grange

About the Project

The South Australian Government has established a Linear Park along Adelaide’s metropolitan coastline between Grange and Tennyson.

Coast Park Stage Two will improve connectivity via a new shared-use path through a 1.8-kilometre section between Terminus Street, Grange and Bournemouth Street, Tennyson.

The project aims to promote the use and enjoyment of the coastal area, encouraging active lifestyles through the region - improving access for all while maintaining connectivity to existing access points along the coastline.
