The Parade, Adelaide

The Parade, Adelaide

The Parade (often referred to as "The Norwood Parade") is an Adelaide road in the eastern suburbs, running East-West from the CBD to the foothills, connecting to suburbs such as Kent Town, Norwood, Beulah Park, Rosslyn Park, Auldana and Skye. [cite book|title=2003 Adelaide Street Directory, 41st Edition |publisher=UBD (A Division of Universal Press Pty Ltd) |year=2003 |isbn=0-7319-1441-4] It is more known for its shopping precinct than its role as a transport conduit for the eastern suburbs.

Its shopping precinct in Norwood sees the road turn into a thin, tree lined, four-laned road with various shops, hotels, movie theatres and restaurants on both sides. Of note is Norwood Town Hall and the recently built multi-level shopping center. The area around The Parade is considered more 'bohemian' than the rest of working-class Norwood, with a high percentage of yuppies and students.

A significant landmark on The Parade is Clayton-Wesley Uniting Church on the corner of Portrush Road and The Parade in Beulah Park. The church, visible along the road from Norwood, was built over 150 years ago. Each year the church places a star and cross on the spire for the advent and lenten seasons respectively. These are visible while travelling in an easterly direction and provide a focal point for the strip.

It is served by the 122, 123, 125 and 126 bus services.
