Windsor Street Reserve

This is such a pretty walking trail in the heart of mainstream Unley society. Well actually in Malvin to be precise, as it runs alongside Windsor Street (as the name suggests).
Considering the little space they had, and what it looked like before I think they (whoever they specifically are) have done a great job with the entire trail. Definitely the best looking footpaths of sorts I have ever seen.
The trail is big enough to walk, run, ride your bike (well for children) and even has flat wooden bridges and park benches among all the wilderness. Along the way you will find platforms of information stating Unley History. This history is fairly stock standard but looks good nonetheless. Im sure there are a few people that find is semi educational, eg. «View of historical shops»…which are empty mind you. How’s that for site seeing. Hmm.
Anyway there are rare and aquatic plants to see, black forest trees, preserving habitats and direct acknowledgment to the Kaurna people, who were the original owners of the land aka Adelaide Plains… Or put simply, Unley.
The trail also directly leads to two park, one on each side of the Windsor Street strip. Picture perfect.

Botany. Plant preservation. Green issues. Environment. If any of these words whet your appetite then you should visit the Windsor Street Linear Reserve in Unley.
This reserve is an initiative of the local council to restore and preserve the rare and endangered plants indigenous to the area. The project originally kicked off in an effort to lessen flooding in the area but grew into a scheme whereby a concrete monstrosity has been completely beautified while simultaneously restoring native plant life and threatened species.
Not only has the area been restored in terms of vegetation but the planners have provided a pathway for public access (it makes for a great running track), there’s a variety seating at various points along the reserve as well as thoughtfully placed signage and artwork.
The reserve stretches for a kilometre from the Fern Park Reserve to the Henry Codd Reserve in Parkside and makes for a fantastic and informative walk through piles of native vegetation. All in all it is a caringly restored space.
