Page Park

Timing is everything at Page Park in Clarence Park. Between 5pm and 10am dogs can come off the lead, and for the rest of the day it goes back on.

The rules by the clock

The City of Unley runs the park, officially C F Page Memorial Park, on a time-share. Dogs may be off lead from 5pm to 10am, and must be on lead at all other times and whenever organised sport is being played.

The walk

A paved loop circles wide open grass, passing a playground, tennis courts and outdoor fitness gear beneath mature trees. It is a neighbourhood circuit rather than a long walk.

Drinking water, bins and public toilets are on site. Parking is on the streets around the park.

Make a day of it

Sublime Cafe is right here in Clarence Park, and Hey George Community in Goodwood is another dog-friendly stop.

When to go

Early morning before 10am is the sweet spot, with off-lead time and the day's heat still ahead of you. Evenings after 5pm bring out the local regulars, which suits social dogs.
