Wednesday Curtin walk - a favourite off-leash experience

Join us on one of our favourite Canberra walks for providing dogs with extensive - and safe - off leash opportunities.

We'll follow a circular route of around 5 km through a series of interconnected parks and playing fields, crossing only one road to get to and from the shops. (For those wanting a shorter walk, there's an opportunity after about 30 minutes to cut back to the starting point - making around 3 km/45 minutes altogether.)

The off leash opportunities start after about 10 minutes when we reach a large oval, and then continue along Curtin ridge to another enormous off leash oval. For humans, there are attractive mountain and city views from various points on the Curtin ridge.

The walk is likely to take a bit over 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 ovals, and to let me take some group photos!

This is 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 damp ovals.

There's plenty of free parking at the Curtin shops and a good Coles if you want to catch up on your grocery shopping while you're there. Plus a great dog friendly café for an after-walk coffee or brunch.

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.
