The Adelaide Park Lands are a green belt of open space forming a figure eight around the City of Adelaide in South Australia, separating the city center from its surrounding suburbs on both banks of the River Torrens between Hackney and Thebarton. They were laid out by Colonel William Light as part of his original plan for Adelaide and originally covered about 2,300 acres, with areas set aside for uses including a cemetery, a botanical garden, a hospital and government buildings. Disclosed low confidence: the fetched lead does not state a single explicit IUCN category, so Protected Landscape and Seascape is a closest fit on general classification knowledge.
