PROMENADE NEWPORT RESERVE

Public BBQ

Newport's waterfront gem proves that some places manage to honour the past while embracing the present, though you'd never guess it from the council's apparent maintenance budget. This beautifully landscaped stretch celebrates Kaurna heritage through thoughtful interpretive displays and striking mosaic picnic tables that actually make you want to linger,assuming you can overlook the slightly neglected walking trail that seems forgotten by local authorities. The old Hart Mill provides a dramatic backdrop, particularly spectacular at sunset when strategic lighting transforms it into something rather magical. Families gravitate toward the decent playground and barbecue facilities, while the Port River views offer genuine chances of dolphin spotting for patient observers. The flat riverside walk extends to the intriguing ship graveyard, though facilities remain basic,toilets near Portabello's Restaurant and scattered drinking fountains. It's the kind of place that deserves better attention but still manages to charm visitors, especially during Corporate Cup season when increased foot traffic brings welcome vibrancy to this quietly impressive cultural pocket.
