Golden Grove, South Australia

Golden Grove is an outer north-eastern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, within the City of Tea Tree Gully.

Developed in the 1980s as a public-private joint venture, it's noted for its hilly topography, extensive vegetation, and proximity to the Adelaide Hills.

Captain Adam Robertson and his wife arrived in South Australia in September 1839, and settled in the area now known as Golden Grove.

[citation needed] Housing typology largely reflects that of the original Golden Grove development, continuing the detached, single-family home characteristic previously observed.

In April 2023, the South Australian government announced the release of a land parcel in Golden Grove to address the ongoing housing crisis facing the state.

The boundary of Golden Grove is defined by Slate and Cobbler Creeks to the north, the Cobbler Creek Park to the west, Helicon Drive, Surrey Farm Drive and The Grove Way (including the three-school campus and shopping centre), Golden Grove and Hancock Roads (wrapping around Surrey Downs) and Yatala Vale Road to the south, and Seaview Road and the quarries to the east.

The Harpers Field clubrooms and community centre's $14 million re-development was completed in June 2024 and is currently home to the Golden Grove Football Club and Golden Grove Cricket Club The 288ha Cobbler Creek Recreation Park is accessible from nearby Gulfview Heights.

On the 10th of November 2020, a total of $33 million was funded by the South Australian state government to provide for a new Adelaide Metro Park & Ride facility in Golden Grove.

[12] The Park 'n' Ride was set to account for the large patronage the area sees of bus commuters toward the Adelaide CBD and surrounding suburbs.

[16] Proposals exist to extend the Adelaide O-Bahn to Golden Grove, but the route it might take from Tea Tree Plaza Interchange is unknown.
