One of our shorter walks, this ultra pretty and easy route follows a series of linked off leash parks featuring mature exotic trees that are just gorgeous in autumn – as illustrated by this photo. There are plenty of open green spaces for dogs to play, opportunities for creek paddles, and a high likelihood of meeting other friendly dogs. It can be walked in around 35 minutes without pause but the extensive parks invite lots of dawdling. The walk starts and ends at Griffith Park behind the Manuka shopping centre which has several cafés with outdoor tables that welcome dogs.
