West Lakes is western suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, within the City of Charles Sturt.
Developed in the 1970s as a public-private joint venture, it's noted for its manmade tidal lake and Delfin Island, a residential island set within the lake. It was renamed John Dyer Lake[7] in honor of the former Mayor, John Raymond Dyer OAM, recognizing his significant influence and dedication to the development.
Today, West Lakes is home to the Westfield West Lakes shopping centre, Woodlake Shopping Centre on Frederick Road, the West Lakes Golf Club, and the Adelaide Football Club training grounds (formerly AAMI Stadium/Football Park).
West Lakes has an irregular shape and shares borders with Port Adelaide, Queenstown, Royal Park, Seaton and Grange. Adjacent suburbs that also share lake frontage include Semaphore Park, Tennyson and West Lakes Shore.
