Rundle Park

Rundle Park, also known as Park 13 and by its Kaurna name Kadlitpina/Kadlitpinna, is a part of the Adelaide Park Lands in Adelaide, South Australia. The park is bounded by East Terrace (to the west), Botanic Road (north), Dequetteville Terrace (east) and Rundle Road (south).[1]

John Rundle (1791–1864) was a British Whig politician and businessman who was one of the original directors and financiers of the South Australia Company.

Kadlitpina/Kadlitpinna, known as 'Captain Jack' by the early colonial settlers, was a Kuarna elder whose portrait was painted by George French Angas.

Since 2000, in February/March of most years, the park has been the site of the Garden of Unearthly Delights, a carnival style arts precinct associated with the Adelaide Fringe Festival, which features a variety of music and theatre shows, as well as food stalls, bars and carnival rides including a Ferris wheel.[2]

An extension to the Obahn is now complete; it involved connecting Hackney road and Grenfell street, with a tunnel being built under Rundle Park.[3][4][5][6][7]
