Adelaide Street Art

Adelaide you are cool, cultured and creative. If your walls, windows, doors, city building high rises, silos and old factories could talk they would say “thanks for the colourful makeover”

Street art is here, there and everywhere all over the walls of Adelaide and regional SA for all to see and admire (and take many many selfies in front of)

From Indigenous Art Murals, pop art, rainbows, patterns and everything in between this is a growing scene in Adelaide that art lovers can discover, explore and be amazed by (and take many many selfies in front of)

If you have mini humans who love street art and discovering new places (and taking many many selfies) – here’s a few of the street art installations we know of and some ideas on how to get the kids involved.

Buy an Art Diary! Visit Smiggle or Kmart for a inspirational notebook that can be your child’s art notes. Add new notes when you find a new wall, take a photo and place it in the diary for your street art collection and bonus points if you can find the artist!

Vision. Art always comes from somewhere. Ask and probe your child’s thinking when you discover a new piece. “What do you see?” “Why do you think the artist painted this?” “What are they trying to say” the interpretation for one’s masterpiece (especially from a child’s eyes) is simply amazing.

Tell us! Discovered something amazing… let us know in the comments below, or on our Facebook post. We’re sure there are MANY more to add to this list. We’d love you to share what you find.

George Street Reserve Playground, Marion
Find it at: George Street, Marion The City of Marion have opened up yet another fabulous playground (they are really setting the standard aren't they), this time a spacious playground at George Street. With an in-ground trampoline, swing, sandpit, water pump and 2 historical-themed cubby houses, including a village store and a workers cottage, this one is really cool. There’s also a miniature fire pole, slide and logs to jump on and an upgraded 3-on-3 basketball and netball court. There's plenty of space (the oval and footy goals are just fantastic) for your doggo to run around, as well as a sheltered BBQ area. Oh and did we mention there are toilets? Because there are! We really enjoyed this one and there was plenty for our older boys to climb and swing around on, whilst also offering enough to keep the young ones entertained.
Jo Gapper Activity Park Playground, Hillbank

There's even a designated area for your fur baby! There's a playground, basketball court, tennis court, footy field, walking trail and lookout AND a dog park! Unfortunately the playground itself isn't shaded, but there are two shaded picnic/BBQ areas right next to it so you can escape the sun if needed. Equipment includes slide, swings, climbing and balancing, ropes, monkey bars, tunnels, rockers and spinners. Something for little kids/toddlers right up to early primary. Bigger kids will enjoy the sports areas (basketball, tennis, footy) and facilities include onsite toilets, BBQ facilities, water fountain, seating/picnic area and plenty of parking. It's a great spot for a walk too. You can follow the path all the way around the other side of the reserve up to the lookout. And BYO dog to take advantage of the Dog Park which even has a separate area for puppies and small dogs. Please note that the gates to the carpark at Jo Gapper Activity Park are shut at sunset each day.
