River Torrens Linear Park is a long green corridor that follows the River Torrens (Karrawirra Pari) through Adelaide, linking parks, wetlands, picnic areas, and shared-use trails from the Adelaide Hills to the coast at Henley Beach. Established to improve river health and public access, the park combines open lawns, native vegetation, wetlands, playgrounds, and shaded riverbanks that support birdlife and recreation throughout the city. Its mostly flat, continuous pathway makes it popular for walking and cycling, with multiple access points connecting the surrounding suburbs and reserves.

Main South Road Tram Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Currently, as of summer 2025 / 26, this bikeway is widely closed due to the construction of two more overpasses and major maintenance work on the tram tracks. There is an official detour between Glenelg and Goodwood Road. It is well signposted but not as nice as the original bikeway.
