Wednesday Kingston walk - a contrast of old and new

Explore Kingston with your furry best friends on this urban walk through the oldest and newest parts of this trendy suburb.

We will:

• start and end at the Kingston shops (some of the earliest in Canberra);
• cut through the new apartment and restaurant precinct on the eastern shore of Lake Burley Griffin;
• loop through the pretty tree-lined parks and streets of Kingston featuring heritage listed cottages;
• finish up back in Green Square featuring several cáfes

This is a mainly on leash walk, but our dogs will have one off-leash opportunity at the Kingston oval, and they'll get plenty of stimulation walking on-leash through the busy Foreshore precinct, along boardwalks and over pedestrian bridges.

The walk follows a circular, flat and mainly paved route of approx 4 km which may take around 90 minutes to complete with a group.

There is ample parking on nearby streets, but it may be difficult to get a spot close to our meeting point as the area is popular.

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.
