Fun Facts
It is well known for its wide, tree-lined streets, presentable postwar bungalow homes, rounded street corners and lots of manicured, well maintained open space.
The suburb has an unusual layout - when viewed from the air, part of the suburb is said by some to resemble the rising sun symbol of the Australian military, and by others to resemble a Union Flag. However, it was not designed this way.
History
The part of the suburb east of Goodwood Road was used as an army training camp during World War I, and prior to this the area was known as Grange Farm.
The suburb contains many well preserved bungalow homes, and in October 1999 was placed on the Register of The National Estate. In 2000 the suburb was declared a State Heritage Area; for the heritage significance of Colonel Light Gardens.
Transport
The suburb is serviced by Adelaide Metro buses along Goodwood Road, East Parkway, Grange Road and Springbank Road.
