It’s the first weekend of the Royal Adelaide Show and we’re loving the buzz!🎡 From dagwood dogs to showbags and everything in between, there’s nothing like the excitement of Show season, and we’re thrilled to be hosting so many guests who’ve made West Beach Parks their base for the fun. Big events like this bring so much energy to Adelaide and give our local economy a great boost. We love seeing the city come alive! If you’re heading to the Show this week, have the best time and don’t forget your comfy shoes (and maybe a poncho 😉).
T minus one week until spring, and oh, how we’ve missed you! 🌼 If you’ve been craving sunshine, fresh air, and a little time for yourself, The Pat GC is calling. Whether you're new to golf or already love a casual hit, spring is the perfect time to get back on the green. Stick to the driving range or take on the course — either way, you’ll be treated to blue skies, sea breezes, and that unbeatable feeling of being outdoors (with a coffee in hand, of course). Make a day of it and bring a friend, enjoy a post-round drink at Westward Ho Golf Club's newly renovated Sprig Bar, and soak up the best of West Beach Parks. The best part? The Pat GC is open to the public — no membership needed. Just good vibes, great company, and the game we love⛳ Visit https://bit.ly/3XggcR1 for more info about the course.

We recently made headlines! 📰 Did you catch the feature in the Sunday Mail yesterday?

We were thrilled to hear they consider West Beach Parks one of the best holiday parks they’ve visited during their 10 months on the road 🥰 Thinking about doing the big lap yourself?

Rick the Rock Lobster loves winter at Discovery Parks & Resorts - West Beach Parks! Why? Because he gets to experience cosy winter fun. His favourite thing is toasting marshmallows under the stars and sipping on hot chocolate. The smell of a fire in winter is unbeatable. No sweaty days running around, just the crisp air and moments of sunshine. And when the rain rolls in? That just means it's time for board games, movies and snuggling up in a cabin at West Beach Parks. Ready for your own cosy adventure? Come join Rick at West Beach Parks: https://bit.ly/4aku9Bz.

This year's Variety SA Motoring Bash hit the road from Adelaide Sailing Club on Saturday, heading off on an epic journey through Coober Pedy, Tanunda and regional towns across South Australia. And if that wasn't enough excitement, Variety WA Bash, 4WD & Cruise kicked off Day 2 of its Bash from Barratt Reserve too! We loved welcoming more than 1,600 Variety Bash entrants from across the country to West Beach Parks, the perfect home base for Friday night's national Bash party at AFL Max. With around 145 themed vehicles between the two events, the colourful convoy is more than just a fun road trip, it's a mission to support local communities and kids in need, and we're proud to be part of it. From the Dukes of Hazzard to Fireman Sam, Finding Nemo and Monkey Business, the team names are as creative as they are heartwarming. If you're in a position to donate, you can do so here: https://www.savarietybash.com.au -- or simply follow along on their socials. It's all for a great cause!
