I’ve been watching the Big Bash playoffs (if you know who won, please don’t tell me; I’m only half way through the second semi final), and I like look up the stadiums on the Google. The second match was being played at the lovely Adelaide Oval. But what struck me about the stadium was its location inside this area. It looks like a series of parks, but there is also a central section of homes/shops whatever. Is this a particularly historic part of the city? Just wondering.

I’m hugh jass, err, from australia.
I’ve not been to Adelaide, but most Aussie cities are built with extensive parklands, and/or botanical gardens, in a very traditional English model.

I think I know who won...but I won’t tell you. Suffice to say it was a nice finish.
Adelaide is a tad unique in Australia for being a planned city. Hence the Adelaide Parklands. Adelaide proper is the big square mass and the Adelaide Oval sits on the Torrens River (most anywhere else would call it a creek) that seperates Adelaide from North Adelaide which itself has a green belt around it.
These belts had both an aesthetic and practical reason for existing. They allowed residents to feel like they were still in Europe whilst taking in the air and they seperated the city from farms and bushland which made it safer from things like bushfire and dust and stuff...
