Overview

Ovingham is an inner‑northern suburb of Adelaide situated between Park Terrace and the Gawler railway line, bisected by Torrens Road. Established in 1875 by William Whinham, the suburb today is home to 766 residents according to the 2021 census. Local character is anchored by the historic Ovingham Hotel on Torrens Road and close proximity to schools such as Immaculate Heart of Mary and Bowden Brompton Community School, as well as the Adelaide Aquatic Centre just a short walk away.

Residents enjoy road access via Torrens Road, Park Terrace and Churchill Road, while the Ovingham railway station on the Gawler line provides service to the city centre. An overpass replacing the Torrens Road level crossing in 2023 improves traffic flow, and Adelaide Metro buses connect the suburb to nearby areas. The mix of parks, sporting venues like Barton Oval and shopping in Bowden and Prospect make Ovingham a walk‑friendly community.
