Rapid Creek Markets

Rapid creek markets, mostly fresh produce (a lot of asian greens) & fresh asian sweet puddings & treats. Whole tropical fruits to purchase, and also cut-up fruit platters in carpark part of market. Most of market is either outside in shade, or in the Mall in shade. Back outside carpark has food vans, mostly asian cusines, but also fresh tropical juices/drinks, and enormous churros. Bus stop is right outside the door under a shady tree- tale No.10 bus back to Darwin CBD. Market can be a bit tight for walking space during busy times, but everyone is pretty chilled out. Didn't need to use the bathroom while there, so sorry I'm not sure on that point. Vendors take a mixture of card and cash. Several brick+mortar cafes inside/outside the mall. A massage stall where we saw back walking & foot reflexology. Dried mango to purchase, and a couple of non-food stalls. Take your time choosing your produce, most were very fresh, but just a couple; not so much. We came here in mid July, around 30 degrees Celsius, & a nice breeze. All in all an enjoyable morning for both locals & tourists- We would visit this market again 👍

This is a must visit on a Saturday or Sunday. Parking is a nightmare though, don’t try to park in the market carpark, you can usually find a spot in the streets nearby. There is a selection of fresh fruit and veggies to purchase at the front and inside. Not market cheap though but assuming fresher than supermarket. We visit for the food in the inner courtyard. If you miss Purple Lady Laksa at Parap Markets on Saturday, you can get your laksa fix on Sunday!! There are a lot of Asian options, the grilled pork balls skewer stand is tasty and there are a few Som Tum (papaya salad) ladies. The one next to purple lady is very good and makes it proper spicy haha Give it a go!

Today I visited Rapid Creek Market and was truly impressed. It’s a charming, vibrant little place filled with the freshest vegetables, unique local produce, and a variety of delicious foods. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to shop, explore, and enjoy. A must-visit destination for anyone who loves fresh, authentic experiences.

I think this is one of my most favourite markets in Darwin, not hard to get too either on the bus no 10. They make up paw paw salads for you on the spot. Small $6 and absolutely jammed full, very tasty. Green coconuts 🥥 too. Lots of fresh produce and things I haven’t seen or tasted before.

Very crowded and compact but if you go early the produce is next level fresh and competitively priced. Pretty much every fruit and vegetable grown in Northern climes is available. By far my favourite market for fresh Asian fruit and veg

Rapid Creek Business Village is much more than just a neighborhood strip—it’s a bustling local hub with vibrant weekend markets, a multicultural supermarket, convenient amenities, and strong community appeal. If you’re after a cozy, accessible retail/service space or a market-infused outing, it’s hard to beat.

Rapid Creek Market operates Saturday and Sunday. Set in and around the small Shopping Mall on Trower Road. Plenty of fresh local produce , tropical fruits and veggies. Delicious fruity drinks and smoothies and delightful Asian cuisine. Don’t miss this one whether you’re a local or travelling through.

Wow! What a range of fruit and veges! Many I had never seen before. Also selling delicious prepared meals. Recommend the green paw paw salad made while you wait.
