The Parade, Adelaide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Parade is an Adelaide road in the eastern suburbs, running East-West connecting the CBD to suburbs such as Norwood. It is more known for its shopping precinct than its role as a transport conduit for the eastern suburbs.
Its shopping precinct in Norwood sees the road turn into a thin, tree lined, four-laned road with various shops, hotels, movie theatres and restaurants on either side. Of note is Norwood Town Hall and the recently built multi-level shopping center. The area around the parade is considered more 'bohemian' than the rest of working-class Norwood, with a high percentage of yuppies and students.
A significant land mark on The Parade (although in Beulah Park) is Clayton-Wesly Uniting Church on the corner of Portrush Road and The Parade. The church, visible along the road in Norwood, was built over 150 years ago. The church places, on the spire, a star and cross each year for advent and lenten seasons respectively. These are visible while heading in an Easterly direction and provide a focal point for the strip.
It is served by the 122, 123, 124 and 125 bus services
