City of Unley Parklet Program

In town centres across the globe, new community led public spaces are being established in the footprint of traditional car parks. These temporary structures, known as ‘parklets’ are able to be quickly and relatively cheaply introduced into existing streets without the need for major expense or disruption of the street. Parklets provide new pedestrian spaces for:

  • People to meet and gather,
  • People to eat and drink, and
  • People to sit, pause and unwind.

In addition parklets provide safer streets for people as well as cyclists, influencing driver behaviour and slowing vehicle speed. The Parklet Program, which was introduced in 2014, has seen the City of Unley provide and fund two parklet structures. The structures include a compliant platform and road enclosure. Parklets can be more than a place for tables and chairs.

The two parklets are currently being hosted until April 2028 by:

  • The Flying Pan (TFP)
    7/432 Fullarton Rd, Myrtle Bank SA 5064
  • Unley Social 
    70 King William Rd, Goodwood SA 5034
