Dog Play Area

A dedicated dog play space on Simpson Avenue in Devon Park, sitting beside the Devon Park Playground and oval. The sandy areas give dogs room to dig, which is the main reason local owners swing by for a quick leg-stretch.

The rules. Leash status is not published in detail, so check the City of Port Adelaide Enfield dog leash map for current requirements. A dog bag station is on-site, so use it. Supervise your dog closely, as a fenced children's playground sits right beside the dog area.

What's there. A dog bag station, drinking taps and fountains, seating, and sandy patches dogs naturally gravitate to for digging. The broader reserve adds a fenced children's playground, BBQ facilities, and a large open oval. Free on-street parking on Simpson Avenue, easy access off Torrens Road, with buses in the area via Adelaide Metro.

Nearby with the dogs. If you need a fully fenced run, head to the Jack Watkins Reserve Fenced Dog Park in Kilburn or Doggie Land at Albert Greenshields Reserve in Ridleyton. For a coffee stop after, try Frankly Bagels in Prospect.

When to go. As a small neighbourhood park, it is quietest outside the usual before-work and after-work dog-walking windows. It suits a quick local run and a dig, not a destination park.
