About this place
What to expect
Discover gardens, history, art and community in the heart of Eudunda. The award-winning Eudunda Centenary Gardens are a beautiful and welcoming place to pause, explore and experience some of the stories that make Eudunda unique. Established in 1946, the gardens have evolved into a much-loved community space combining established gardens, shady areas, seating, picnic facilities and fascinating local history. Take a leisurely stroll through the gardens and discover the stories of Eudunda and its people. One of the garden's highlights is the striking bronze sculpture of renowned South Australian author Colin Thiele with Mr Percival, the pelican from his much-loved story Storm Boy. Visitors can also explore the community-created artwork and stories displayed throughout the gardens, including hundreds of ceramic tiles celebrating 100 years of transport in the region. The adjoining Memorial Gardens provide a peaceful place for reflection, featuring the war memorial and rose-covered memorial archway honouring local people who served their country. Families are well catered for, with a fully fenced playground, historic railway carriage and the unique Kids Scrub adventure play area. A free electric BBQ, picnic area, seating, shelter and accessible toilet facilities make the gardens an enjoyable place to stop for visitors of all ages.
