The Parade, often referred to as Norwood Parade, is an Adelaide road in the eastern suburbs, running east–west from the Adelaide city centre to the foothills, connecting suburbs including Kent Town, Norwood, Beulah Park, Kensington Park Rosslyn Park, Auldana and Skye.[1]

The shopping precinct on The Parade in Norwood sees the road turn into a thin, tree lined, four-laned road with various shops, hotels, movie theatres and restaurants on both sides.[2][3][4][5] Of note is the heritage-listed Norwood Town Hall.[6] A significant landmark on The Parade is the Clayton Wesley Uniting Church on the corner of Portrush Road and The Parade in Beulah Park. The church that is visible along the road from Norwood was built in 1883, although an earlier building (still behind the present church) was built in 1856.[7]

The Parade is served by a number of Adelaide Metro bus services including H20, H22, H24 (peak services only) and After Midnight N22 (Friday PM/Saturday AM).[8]
