Surprisingly easy to navigate safely (given its size), Victoria Square Tarntanyangga is a gathering place as much as it is an artery for movement through the city. Many events are received and / or hosted here (including sports events and holiday festivals). The parks are nice and many people recreate; partaking in health, fitness and family activities throughout the day. Victoria Square is a place of respite for busy office workers and it can look stunningly beautiful. More native vegetation would be appreciated but the open spaces must be preserved for practical reasons. One other thing worth noting is the cooling effect of this green open space. It is significant and airflow is definitely increased within the city because of it, which is important because Adelaide is prone to hot summers.

Victoria Square, also known as Tarntanyangga, is a public square located in the heart of Adelaide, South Australia. The square covers an area of approximately 7.6 acres and is surrounded by several major streets, including King William Street, Grote Street, Wakefield Street, and Flinders Street. Victoria Square has a rich history dating back to the early days of Adelaide's development, when it was known as Market Square and served as a marketplace for farmers and traders. Over time, the square has been used for a variety of purposes, including as a site for public meetings, rallies, and celebrations. Today, Victoria Square is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering a range of amenities and attractions. The square features a large fountain, lawns, and landscaped gardens, as well as several public artworks and sculptures. There are also several cafes and restaurants located nearby, making it a great spot for a leisurely lunch or coffee break. Victoria Square is also home to several major events and festivals throughout the year, including the Adelaide Fringe Festival, the Adelaide Christmas Pageant, and the Tasting Australia food and wine festival. In recent years, Victoria Square has undergone several renovations and improvements, including the installation of new lighting, seating, and public facilities. These changes have helped to make the square a more vibrant and attractive destination for visitors to Adelaide.

Lovely place with a huge Christmas tree and food stalls.(might be only a Christmas thing). But it was very cool I think I saw Harry Styles.Yes you are able to play on the ground as of play ground I'm not sure about actually having playgrounds but it's cool place to go.There were porta potties so I'm not sure if there was permanent toilets and I assume the potties are gone since it's no longer Christmas.Yeah I would say it's dog friendly since there isn't any post man.Yes picnic is actually good it's a lovely space that's protected partial from sounds due to a sunken design were there's a risen portion around half the park.

The activities put on the council this week are not bad. There is a Lego sleigh and reindeer, Lego to play with, foam building blocks, ball toss, oversize checkers and chess, live magic show and live band to go along with the big Christmas tree and fountains. It kept the kids happy for over an hour for free. You can buy small pizzas, coffee and a VR experience from vans parked on the periphery of you like. The tram to get to and from is free and runs often. You can park at the entertainment centre for free on Port Road with no time limits outside of work hours.

Lovely location to relax at the heart of Adelaide CBD. Only few minutes of walk from the Rundle Mall and it's an Ideal place have lunch in the day time or a small picnic. There are nice floor based mural depicting some common words from aboriginal at the center of square. The flag pole has interactive buttons to educate on the Australian flag. There is a pond and nice seating area. There are many events planned by organisations at square to keep people entertained.

It's a nice experience in the middle of city center. The fountain make a cool breeze in this hot season. Really attractive to children and adults. Special addition is a giant Christmas tree during Christmas time. Even throughout the year many events and fairs use to happen here. Tram and bus stops are pretty close. A vibrant natural place with some fantastic modern landscape design exactly in the heart of the city.
