Park 10

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Park 10 is a parkland in the city of Adelaide, South Australia. It is one of the few parks in the Adelaide Parklands to still be known most commonly by its assigned number, and is enclosed by McKinnon Parade, Bundey's Road, War Memorial Drive and Frome Road.[1] The park is used extensively by University of Adelaide sporting clubs.

Park 10 is officially used by the Adelaide University Cricket and Football Clubs (Park 10 Oval),[2][3] Adelaide University Lacrosse Club (Park 10 Lacrosse Field)[4] and the Adelaide University Lawn Tennis Club (Park 10 Tennis Courts).

The Adelaide University Frisbee Club utilise the space behind the Park 10 football posts and the Adelaide University Soccer Club use the Park 10 Reserve Soccer field (this is also the Lacrosse Training Field) and the Adelaide University Athletics Club use the space between the Lacrosse game field and Park 10 oval.[5]

The Uni Loop is a popular running track, 2.2 kilometres in length, which encircles the park.[6]

The Park 10 Grandstand was recently refurbished by the University of Adelaide.[7]

Due to drought conditions forcing the closure of the Waite Campus sports fields the Adelaide University Rugby Club was temporarily moved to the Graduate's Oval in Park 10 during May and June 2007.[8] This is the first time rugby has been played on the University's City of Adelaide sports grounds since the 1980s.
