About Melrose Park

Welcome to Melrose Park

Melrose Park is a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia in the City of Mitcham. It is bordered by South Road, Daws Road, Winston Avenue and Edward Street. Until 1989, Melrose Park was part of the suburb of Edwardstown.

The suburb was named after early South Australian aviator, Charles James Melrose.
