About

The Adelaide Football Club is promising to build a new public aquatic centre, for free, if only they can put a two-storey private administration, and training facility right alongside, in Denise Norton Park (Park 2) in the northern Adelaide Park Lands.

After ten months of secret negotiations, four artists impressions were released on 10 December 2019.

Naturally the Crows’ drawings do not focus on the huge private area that the Club wants for its administration and commercial activities. Those private areas (shown only in the distance in their drawings) would take up two-thirds of the proposed building.

SA's first female Olympian, Denise Norton (aged 86) has pledged to stand in front of bulldozers if necessary to stop the Crows building their planned empire in the Park that is named in her honour.

She is now raising money for a publicity campaign to try to encourage both the City Council and the Crows to look at other options - to keep Denise Norton Park for the public rather than for a multi-million dollar football business.

This proposal must be stopped. Keep our parklands open space for all.

A commercial corporate group like the Crows has no right to encroach on public land. Unbelievably the Crows has been gifted a $15million handout of public money, by the Federal government. The corporate body can buy its own land for its corporate headquarters. I am sick of all the spin from those who play "The Game of Mates"! Once again I repeat the ParkLands are for the public...for the people. Commercial corporates are for profit not for the public's health and well being!!! Adelaide City Councillors have a duty to protect the ParkLands as those before them have done!!

The Crows commercial operations will inevitably seek to expand. Their present management will have moved on quite soon, but Adelaide would have to put up with this development indefinitely. And who would be next? How could Port Adelaide not get similar treatment? The parklands are like a sanctuary, a buffer between the city and the suburbs, valuable beyond measure, even for those who simply drive through them. They are suitable for small, amateur clubs to use, not for offices and corporate venues.

The bias of the Advertiser newspaper against the precious Parklands is sickening.
