Saturday Hughes walk - pretty views and off leash parks

Join us on this pleasant walk through Hughes, providing a variety of suburban and park experiences.

The walk starts and ends at the Hughes shops, and follows a circular route of just over 4 km on pretty paths and tracks through informal and bush-like parks.

There are several off leash opportunities for our pooches, including a large irrigated oval. Humans can enjoy sweeping westerly views over Woden Valley to the Brindabella mountains from the ridge above Hughes.

With a group, the walk is likely to take around 90 minutes at a relaxed pace, including a few stops along the way to offer our dogs water, let them have a play on the oval, and so on. It's an easy walk, but there is a gradual, sustained uphill section during the first third of the walk - with the reward of those nice views :)

We'll be walking on paved footpaths, dirt tracks and across grassy ovals.

There's free parking right outside the IGA in Hughes Place, plus more behind the shops in Whittle Street. And the Hughes café is likely to be open if you'd like a pre or post-walk coffee, pastry or more.

For more information about the route, see our Hughes walk page providing detailed directions and google map.

Important info:

• You walk entirely at your own risk and you are wholly responsible for your own, and your dog's, behaviour; by rsvping 'yes' to this walk you understand and agree to this condition.
• All off-leash activities are at the discretion of the walk guide. If for any reason they feel any dog should be back on lead, please respect their decision, as they are trying to ensure everyone has a pleasant experience.
• We ask $7.50 per adult to be paid by card to the guide at the beginning of the walk - children (under 18) walk free of charge. The charge helps cover our meetup subscription, insurance, internet, petrol, and other costs. We will gladly refund this if you are not happy for any reason.
