Kingston Park, South Australia

Kingston Park is a small beachside suburb, 17kms south of Adelaide. Kingston Park is within the City of Marion and neighbouring suburbs are Marino, Seacliff and Brighton.

The Tjilbruke Dreamtime Trail begins near the foreshore and is marked by a fenced spring. On the hilltop above the spring is the Tjilbruke Monument and Lookout. A monument by South Australian sculptor John Dowie marks the significant spring site.

The northern rocky beach area to the south is ideal for fishing and exploring rock pools whilst the beach to the south is usually calm and shallow for some distance, making it an ideal beach for families with young children.

The Kingston Park Coastal Reserve, a small park, with tennis courts, swings, BBQ and toilet facilities are located above the beach, with views out to the sea.

The Kingston family, the namesake of this suburb, were early landholders in this area. George Strickland Kingston was Deputy Surveyor in command of the Cygnet which landed in Holdfast Bay on 5 November 1836. His son, Charles Cameron Kingston was instrumental in drafting the Commonwealth Bill of Federation.

The Kingston family's holiday house, first known as Marino Inn and now known as Kingston Historic House, is the oldest building in the City of Holdfast Bay. Set on a three acre reserve with stunning coastal view, the house is open for devonshire teas on summer Sundays.

Although called the Brighton Caravan Park and Holiday Villaage, this tourist facility is actually located in Kingston Park.
