Saturday DDA walk - lush off-leash spaces, tree-lined tracks

Join us on this varied walk wandering through the beautiful parks and streets of Downer, Dickson and Ainslie (DDA).

We'll visit two enormous, lush off-leash playing fields; explore the pretty tree-lined streets of Canberra's inner north; and make a short foray into the Mount Ainslie nature park.

The walk starts and ends at an awesome dog-friendly café, Gang Gang, at the little Downer shops. There's free parking around the shops and in nearby streets.

We'll be walking on paved paths, across damp grassy fields, and on some dirt tracks. The route is approximately 5.5 km, mainly flat, and may take up to 2 hours to complete with a group.

Afterwards there's the option of more socialising with coffee/brunch at Gang Gang.

More information about the route is available on our website here.

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.
• 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.
