Forest Place
About
Forest Place Lifestyle Village at Happy Valley features 250 homes throughout a sprawling tree-filled estate which stands as one of the most picturesque retirement villages in South Australia. Characterised by a charming valley reserve and a scenic walking trail that connects through to nearby Tangari Regional Park, Forest Place has a genuine affinity with the outdoors and is popular for the sense of space it provides residents. The village is also a hive of sporting activity with tennis, lawn bowls, swimming, walking and billiards among the many recreational pastimes enjoyed by residents who foster an active social scene. Aberfoyle Park Hub Shopping Centre (with major supermarkets) is 5 minutes down the road. Westfield Marion Shopping Complex (with department stores, major chains, and Cinema Megaplex) is less than 15 minutes away. A bus stop outside the entrance goes direct to Aberfoyle Hub. It connects with routes to Marion and the City (which is only a 30-minute trip). There are two medical centres within 5 minutes, and Flinders Hospital is 10 minutes down the road.
