Torrens Park is a mainly residential large inner-southern suburb of Adelaide, incorporating some of the foothills[2] and adjacent to the original "Mitcham Village".

[citation needed] Torrens Park Post Office opened on 24 August 1953 and closed in 1972.

[5] Part of today's suburb was laid out in 1917 from the estate of Tom Elder Barr-Smith;[6] various parts of the suburb were originally known as "Glenburnie", Blytheswoodville, Panchito Park, Blythwood Estate and West Mitcham.

The north end of the suburb is reasonably flat, but as one travels south (towards the foothills) the terrain rises and becomes hilly.
