Permits on council reserves
The City of Unley says a permit is required for commercial fitness or small group training on its reserves, and it names personal trainers, yoga and pilates among them. Booking starts with checking availability on the calendar for the location, then completing the permit application form. If a trainer suggests a regular spot on a local reserve, it is reasonable to ask whether it has been booked.
Unley Oval
Unley Oval on Trimmer Terrace has a playground, oval and cricket nets alongside expansive open grass areas for sport and recreation. Open grass is what most outdoor sessions need, though a permit holder still has to book the space first. If you are new to training, a quiet corner of the grass away from the playground and the cricket nets can make the first few sessions feel less on show.
