Location 6 - Victoria Park


Site: East Terrace/Kensington Road/Greenhill Road (click image to enlarge)

Requirements: Could start building tomorrow

What’s good about it:
  • HUGE under-utilised parcel of land close to the city
  • Lots of space and surrounded by roads
  • Close to pre/post venues in Hutt Street
  • Would encourage use of the Park to the whole of Adelaide, not just the fortunate few who live near
  • Lots of car parking space
  • Finds a use for a contentious parcel of land
What’s not so good about it:
  • Difficulty of building a stand for a car race created division, building a stadium would create even more controversy
  • May impact horse racing activities
  • Residents may be opposed to losing a large parcel of open space
What Col Light says:
A brilliant site. A courageous group of people could take this on. Good luck…!
