King Rodney Park

King Rodney Park, known as Ityamai-itpina or Park 15, fills the corner of the East Park Lands between Wakefield Road and Bartels Road. The City of Adelaide lets dogs off lead here, a rare city park where a dog can properly run.

Leads and the off-lead area

Dogs can be off lead across the park at all times, as long as they are under control. Clip on within 5 metres of unfenced play equipment, including the Glover East playspace, and whenever organised sport is being played.

When a lead is needed it must be strong and no longer than 2 metres.

The walk

Shared asphalt and compacted gravel paths wind across the park past sports fields, old gums and the channel of Botanic Creek. A lap of the perimeter and inner paths is about one and a half to two kilometres.

Bins are on site. Water can be patchy, so bring a bowl.

Pair it with

Walk into town for The Flinders Street Project, or cross to Tell Henry in Kent Town.

Check for organised sport before you unclip, since leads go back on during matches.
