Thalassa Park

Thalassa Park is a dog walk in Aberfoyle Park, SA, where the route features rolling green hills, large trees, nature-themed playground, picnic areas, BBQs, and the Storybook Walk with sculptures of Australian children's book characters.

The walk

Underfoot it is paved and unpaved walking and cycling tracks.

Lead rules

City of Onkaparinga manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Aberfoyle Park for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Aberfoyle Park suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Minkarra Park is the other local walk worth comparing.
