The southern part of Evanston South includes the Smithfield Memorial Park cemetery, operated by the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority.[1] In 2021, a new 2 ha (4.9-acre) burial site was built in the cemetery to accommodate the repatriated remains of Kaurna people, on land donated by Adelaide Cemeteries. In November of that year, the South Australian Museum apologised to the Kaurna people for having held 4,600 Aboriginal remains over the past 165 years, and buried the first 100 remains of their ancestors at the site. The memorial site is in the shape of the Kaurna shield, to protect the ancestors now buried there.[2]

The southern part of Evanston South also includes the Gawler Gate Tourist Park, formerly known as Dalkeith Caravan Park, at 3134 Main North Road.[3][4]

The northern part of Evanston South contains Trinity College, Gawler, a residential housing estate developed in the 2010s, and vacant land zoned for future residential development.[5]
