About Camden Park

Camden Park is a compact residential suburb located approximately 8 kilometres southwest of the Adelaide CBD in South Australia. With a population of around 3,340 residents spread across just 1.2 square kilometres, it sits within the City of West Torrens. The suburb features a mix of older character homes and newer developments, with a predominantly family-oriented demographic. Its proximity to Adelaide Airport means occasional aircraft noise, though it is not directly under the flight path.

Residents of Camden Park enjoy excellent access to nearby shopping at Westfield Marion, one of Adelaide's largest retail centres, as well as local shops along Anzac Highway. The suburb has several parks and green spaces, and is well-served by public transport connecting to the CBD and surrounding areas. Camden Park attracts a mix of young families and established residents drawn by its relatively affordable housing compared to neighbouring coastal suburbs like Glenelg, while still being close to the beach.

Camden Park falls under postcode 5038 and is governed by West Torrens Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Morphett electorate.
