In addition to buildings, ample provision has been made for 
all forms of sport. For those interested in cricket or football 
seven ovals are provided with a malthoid-covered concrete cricket 
pitch on each, and for further convenience a large shed is built 
beside each oval. In addition to providing for cricket and 
football, these ovals are largely utilized by large picnic parties, 
as they offer facilities for athletic sports, all the material for 
which is kept for hire at the Park Sports Sheds. Three running 
tracks are also provided. For a small fee these will be marked 
out and prepared before the parties arrive. Tennis enthusiasts 
are well catered for, as there are forty-four earth and six 
bituminous courts available. 
In May, 1935, a nine-hole golf course was made available, 
and this has already become very popular. In spite of the short 
time it has been laid down, the fairways are becoming well turfed 
and the slag scrapes are large, well kept, and play very true. 
These facts, coupled with the beautiful scenic surroundings, are 
inducing an ever-increasing number of people to visit the Park 
Links. 
To keep the grass short, for the convenience of visitors, and 
to minimize the risk of bush fires, it has been found necessary 
to graze livestock at the Park. This practice has had the effect 
of denuding the Park to some extent of many forms of the native 
flora, and to obviate this danger as far as possible it has been 
decided to fence off certain areas where the vegetation has been 
less affected, comprising about five hundred acres in all. These 
areas at least are protected from livestock and are preserved in 
their native state, and should prove valuable to those interested 
in natural science. 
Thus it will be seen that the Commissioners have done, and 
are still doing, all in their power to make the National Park a 
natural public pleasure resort for the residents of South Australia.
