As a fellow unicycle owner, the thing I hate the most about it is that I can't find anywhere to practice riding it where I don't feel like an attention whore.
I mean I am an attention whore, but I don't want to feel like it.
Only attention I got was guy saying that when I will need first aid kit I should shout so he can get to me.
Thankfully I got to practice on mostly level, hard, compacted, slightly grassy driveway.So thankfully whenever I did fall, injuries were insignificant. At worst, a bruised knee or something minor.
If anything, I'd say it's more important that the terrain you practice on needs to be almost perfectly level, and absolutely no potholes or anything around.
Same, except I'm not an attention whore (or at least I don't openly admit it).
I would really like to unicycle to work, but that goes a bit too far down the attention-whore path (not to mention I work really far away).
The university near me offers a wild variety of sports, including unicycling. Maybe you have a similar sports institution nearby?
