TreeClimb Adelaide: What is it and where is it?

TreeClimb Adelaide is an aerial adventure park, with obstacle courses and zipwires. It’s remarkably close to Adelaide city centre, in Kurangga Park.

TreeClimb Adelaide bills itself as Australia’s first inner city aerial adventure park. Built within the Adelaide City Park Lands, TreeClimb Adelaide offers eight climbing courses through the trees.

Zipwiring at TreeClimb Adelaide

70 obstacles spread across those courses. They include zipwires, cargo nets and climbing walls. These courses bunch together to make two overall challenges – the Kids Course and the Grand Course.

The Kids Course has some of the easier obstacles, designed for little people. It comprises of three of the smaller courses linked together. The session, including a training and safety talk beforehand, should last around 80 minutes. Tackling the Kids Course at TreeClimb Adelaide costs $29.

The $39 Grand Course has more sections – it’s five of the smaller courses lumped together – and more zipwires. Expect to be higher off the ground, and expect more nerve-wracking obstacles. The Grand Course at TreeClimb Adelaide takes around two hours to complete. Bookings can be made online.

Where is TreeClimb Adelaide?

Perhaps the most surprising thing about TreeClimb Adelaide is the location. Other ropes courses and aerial adventure parks tend to be in the suburbs or city hinterlands. Classic examples include Thunderbird Park near Cedar Creek Falls in Queensland’s Scenic Rim and the Treetops Adventure Park at Cumberland State Forest in Sydney’s West Pennant Hills. There are also Otway Fly and Live Wire Park along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria.

But TreeClimb Adelaide is just outside Adelaide CBD, in the ring of parks that forms a green belt around the city centre. It’s inside Blue Gum Park (or Park 20 or Kurangga Park, depending on what you prefer to call it). That’s between Peacock Road and Ulney Road, diagonally opposite the Haigh’s Chocolate Factory.

Adelaide activities

It’s one of several things to do in Adelaide that should appeal to active types. Adelaide’s heritage buildings tend to get top billing, but you can also climb the Adelaide Oval, swim with dolphins from Glenelg and take on a downhill mountain biking tour.
