Heywood Park

Heywood Park sits on Addiscombe Place at Unley Park, in Adelaide's leafy, affluent inner south. A much-loved local park, it's a lovely green space — combining open lawns, beautiful mature trees, a creek and a relaxed, family-friendly setting, the kind of pleasant, leafy park that's a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of open green space, gorgeous established trees and a lovely setting: room to walk, picnic and relax, with the creek and the leafy surrounds adding real charm, ideal for a stroll, a picnic or some peaceful time outdoors. It's a beloved spot for families, dog walkers and anyone after a lovely green pocket in the inner south.

With a 4.6 rating from nearly 500 reviews, it's clearly a well-loved community space. The park is free and open, but facilities and any events vary, so it's worth taking sun protection on a warm day and checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a walk, a picnic or some peaceful time outdoors, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Heywood Park at Unley Park.
