Valley View has the odd distinction of being split across three council areas at once: Salisbury, Port Adelaide Enfield and Tea Tree Gully. Walkleys Road, Grand Junction Road and North East Road frame it.
Thomas Turner Reserve on Nelson Road is the largest park in the suburb, Dry Creek runs through it, and the Valley View golf course sits inside it.
Golf is worth taking seriously as an injury source, because it gets treated as a gentle sport and it is not. A golf swing is a high-velocity rotation through the trunk and hips, repeated a hundred times a round, usually by someone who does no rotational training whatsoever between rounds. Add walking eighteen holes carrying or pushing a bag, and it asks a lot of a lower back.
The result is one of the most common presentations I get from Valley View: a back that is fine all week and sore every Sunday, or a lead-side hip that has gradually stopped rotating properly. Neither is a reason to stop playing. Both are capacity and mobility problems that respond well to targeted work, and both get worse if the only response is to play less and hope.
Dry Creek gives you the other half. It is a walking and running corridor, and like every good linear path it makes adding distance easy and adding it too fast easier.
North East Road runs you almost the whole way here. About eight minutes.
