The Torrens Linear Park is a linear park that runs along the River Torrens in South Australia, spanning from the edge of Adelaide Hills in Athelstone to the coast in West Beach and Henley Beach South. Upon completion in 1997, it was the first linear park of its kind in Australia, and also the largest hills-to-coast park.
The construction of the park began as a flood mitigation scheme along the River Torrens running westward from the Adelaide Hills, through the Adelaide metropolitan area, to the sea. Cyclists and walkers can use a trail that runs the 30 km (19 mi) length of the park, from Gorge Road, in Athelstone in the north-east, through the Northern Parklands of the City of Adelaide, to the river mouth at Henley Beach South in the west.
