Please note the changes to operating hours across our facilities during the festive season.
The City of Unley is committed to making our local street network safer, greener and more accessible across the City. The Pocket Parks build on traffic strategies of the past, which closed a number of side streets across the city. These underutilised road closures create an opportunity to enhance the green character of Unley’s streetspaces, provide safer connections and a place to pause and connect.
We have established the ‘Pocket Parks Program’ to work with local residents and businesses to create safer, greener pocket parks. There are key to defining a safe, connected and pleasant street network that can enhance accessibility and lifestyle within the City of Unley.
Pocket Parks should add to quality of life for residents and better reflect the Councils commitment to be a leading age friendly city and support the local businesses along Duthy Street.
New ways to create a pocket park could include;
Clifton Street Pocket Park
Clifton Street Community Garden Planting Day
Clifton Street Planting Day
How can the Pocket Parks provide a solution?
The program provides an opportunity to rethink how we value our existing road closures and how we can make them safer, more attractive and able to be shared by all.
Design changes focus on design for people, increasing greenery and creating a more connected and pleasant place for people. The Pocket Park Program aims to work with interested residents and businesses to create local changes that will help build a greater sense of community and return our local streets to places we meet, walk, ride and even play.
‘Pocket Parks’ support a safer, connected and pleasant street network that can enhance the lifestyle within the city of Unley.
