Pet policy
Dogs on lead throughout; Joslin Reserve is not on the council's off-leash list (City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters).
Joslin Reserve fills the block between Third and Fourth Avenues in Joslin, with paved paths, shady lawns and a busy playground for a short on-lead walk.
Lead rules
The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters does not list Joslin Reserve as an off-leash park, so dogs stay on lead. Dogs are also kept out of the playground area.
The walk
Concrete paths loop the reserve past tennis courts, a basketball ring and wide lawns. It is a short stroll, so combine a few laps or add the nearby streets.
Big trees and shade structures keep it cool, and there are toilets, seating and bins. Street parking surrounds the park.
Pair it with
For a bigger walk, try St Peters Billabong, or visit Hannaford Reserve nearby.
Flat, paved and shady, it suits older dogs and hot days.
