Linde Reserve/Dunstone Grove is a unique inner city reserve.
Norwood Payneham St Peters Council want to turn it into passive, easily managed
open space.
The Friends of Linde Reserve/Dunstone Grove) have a much better idea
- we want to turn it into an unique arts eco park.
Linde Reserve and Dunstone Grove comprise a 2.8 hectare park opposite the Avenues
shopping centre in Stepney. The reserve has open space, significant trees, a playground
and a concreted stretch of Second Creek. Cottages from Stepneys’ forgotten German
history, a Scout hall and the Perriam Centre, (used as a community hall) are scattered
around the reserve.
There is also a disused bowling green.
But what makes Linde Reserve and Dunstone Grove really special is the fact that it is the
home of several important arts and community groups - the St Peters Women’s
Centre, Knee High Puppets, No Strings Attached Disability Theatre and 3D radio.
These groups could be the basis of a unique arts eco park that would be the only one of
its kind in Adelaide. Friends of Linde Reserve/Dunstone Grove has been established to promote this vision.

This is a very informative blog, I really hope the Council re-thinks their plan and changes to the Arts- Eco Park idea. Many people of the area that I've talked to are dismayed when they realise what the Council has planned, so much for public consultation! Obviously the Council's mechanisms to inform have not worked sufficiently. Lets hope sanity and community spirit prevail in the Council Chambers.
