North Terrace, Adelaide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Terrace is a street in Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. It runs east-to-west, and is the northernmost street in the grid of the city's central business district[1].
Theoretically, the northern side of North Terrace is part of the Adelaide Parklands. However, much of the space between North Terrace and the River Torrens is now occupied by cultural institutions. These include:
- City Sk8 Park, a skateboarding facility next to the railway tracks
- Adelaide Convention Centre partly above the railway tracks
- Adelaide Railway Station
- Adelaide Casino (inside the historic station building)
- Art Gallery of South Australia
- The Hyatt Hotel above the railway station tracks
- Old Parliament House - the original building for use by Parliament
- Parliament House
- Government House, the official residence of the Governor of South Australia
- State Library of South Australia
- South Australian Museum
- University of Adelaide
- University of South Australia
- Royal Adelaide Hospital
- Adelaide Botanic Gardens
The Adelaide Festival Centre, Elder Park and historic Torrens Parade Ground are also between North Terrace and the River Torrens.
The southern side of the street includes the large new City West campus of the University of South Australia, the exclusive and historic Adelaide Club, part of the Rundle Mall shopping precinct, the historic Ayers House, and some of the commercial buildings of the city.
As of October 2007, the Glenelg Tram operates along the western half of North Terrace. One stop is located adjacent to the Adelaide Railway Station, and the service terminates at the University of South Australia City West campus.
