Reported walking route: A large open oval perfect for a stroll with your dog, surrounded by residential streets and some shady trees.. Confirm leash rules with council signage on site.

The walk
Underfoot it is grass, concrete.
Lead rules
City of Darwin manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.
Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Alawa for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
Worth knowing
The Alawa suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Dripstone Park is the other local walk worth comparing.
