Botanic Park, which is a part of Park 11 is a 34 hectare (84 acre) park in the Northeast Parklands of the South Australian capital of Adelaide. It is bordered by Hackney and Frome Roads. Unisa, University of Adelaide and the old RAH are next to this park. The park also abuts the Adelaide Zoo and River Torrens on its northern side and an avenue of Plane Trees planted in 1874 to its southern side. It is dotted with exotic species such as century-old Moreton Bay Figs from Queensland.

It was acquired by the adjacent Adelaide Botanic Garden in 1866, being formerly the venue for the Royal Adelaide Show from 1844 to 1859. The park was the venue for the first Australasian meeting of the Salvation Army in 1880.^[1]

The park has been compared to the Hyde Park in London: with its own Speakers' Corner since the 1890s, Botanic Park is a venue for public debate on a wide range of topics.^[1] The Speakers' Corner continues, but with less prominence than in times-past. Today, the park is better known as a site for picnics, wedding-party photographs, and major events such as WOMADelaide, Gardens Alive and Moonlight Cinema.
