The River Torrens Linear Park (RTLP) is a 32 km long park which runs along both sides of the length of the River Torrens. Commencing in the Adelaide foothills at Athelstone, the park travels through the Adelaide metropolitan area to the river mouth at West Beach/Henley Beach.

From the foothills to the sea, Linear Park passes through nine council areas including Adelaide Hills Council, City of Tea Tree Gully, Campbelltown City Council, City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters, Port Adelaide Enfield City Council, Walkerville Council, Adelaide City Council, City of West Torrens and City of Charles Sturt. Each of these nine councils is responsible for the management of the Linear Park assets within their council area.

The length of Linear Park boasts a range of recreational facilities including approximately 92km of walkways, toilets, drinking fountains, BBQs and picnic areas, playgrounds and park benches. The park is a popular corridor for walking, running, cycling, dog walking and play.

Along the 11km stretch of trail within Campbelltown's boundaries, there are several notable recreational facilities and opportunities:
