    Lake Circuit is the longest track at Lake Parramatta. Simply follow the track going around the lake. There are two shorter dog friendly hikes as well in the reserve, […]

    • An absolutely beautiful place that feels 1000 miles away. There’s different tracks depending on fitness, accessibility and time you want to spend walking. The lake circuit is beautiful and you’ll get to walk around the whole lake with lots of nature immersive photo opportunities. You will cross some creeks so prepare to get your feet wet if it has just rained, otherwise watch your step on the slippery rocks. There are also some points where there are stairs or logs you will need to climb over. There are side tracks leading out of the park back to different suburbs and residences so be prepared to do a bit of trial and error if you have a bad sense of direction. There is signage but not all the way around as there is generally a very distinct path for most of the track. Definitely bring water as there are no taps till you get back to the bbq area. You can drive into the park and this is where the bbq area is as well as bathrooms, parking, cafe and a paddle boat hire service. This is a great location for a family day out but be prepared as it does get busy on weekends and you may need to park outside and walk into the park which takes around 10-15 minutes.

    • This is an instapups heaven! There’s always beautiful backdrops for you to explore and pretty good brunch food for the humans. The outside area of the cafes are dog friendly or alternatively, you can get take away and find a table in the surrounding grounds to eat. There’s plenty of seating, even when they are busy and you might even get one near their iconic fountain. There are also food stall style shops selling sweets, drinks and other snacks and also a florist. We can definitely recommend the pink lemonade. There is a small animal farm which was a hit for curious pups and also just outside near the carpark block, there is a market that sells handcrafts and other trinkets. It is actually quite magical, especially when they have it decorated for Christmas or with one of the Disney movie themes but be warned, it can get squishy in the most instagrammable locations, with kids, prams and people. So patience is key to getting around and getting pics and pups must be prepared to walk through crowds of people on busy days. Definitely carry smaller pups to avoid them being trampled. Another note is to bring your own water for your dogs. When we went, we couldn’t find dog bowls and there also isn’t grass, so make sure your dogs are all good on the toilet front before sitting down for brunch.
