Pet policy
Off lead 5pm to 10am, on lead 10am to 5pm; always on lead within 5 m of the playground or during sport (City of Unley).
Forestville Reserve on Ethel Street, Forestville, is a small, leafy City of Unley park with a timetable that matters: dogs can be off lead from 5pm to 10am.
Lead rules
Between 10am and 5pm, dogs must be on a lead. Whatever the hour, keep them leashed within 5 metres of the playground and during organised sport or events.
The walk
Concrete paths wind through open grass and shade trees, and a full lap of the main grounds is roughly 300 to 400 metres. You pass the playground, a small skate area and outdoor fitness gear.
Park on Ethel Street, and use the bins along the main paths.
Make a day of it
Daisy Coffee Shop is in Forestville, and Goodwood Oval is close by for a second lap.
When to go
Early morning or after 5pm gives you the off-lead window and cooler air. It suits a quick daily outing more than a long walk.
