A woman in a wheelchair has died after falling into a pond in an Adelaide park and police are trying to piece together what happened.

The 67-year-old woman died in Veale Gardens in Adelaide's southern parklands about 6.30pm on Sunday.

Police divers retrieved the body of the Valley View woman from the water, which was about 1.5m deep.

Detectives spoke to the woman's companion who was at the scene.

A post-mortem examination is being conducted and police hope it will help determine whether the death was suspicious.

Witnesses are urged to contact Crime Stoppers if they saw a wheelchair-bound woman in the parklands on Sunday evening.
