Mitchelton to Alderley Walk/Cycle

Mitchelton to Alderley Walk/Cycle is a dog walk in Alderley, QLD, where the route meanders alongside Kedron Brook through peaceful parklands, lush gardens, and quiet neighborhoods, with glimpses of historical elements like old farm machinery and sculptures.

The walk

Underfoot it is shared bitumen paths and off-road cycleways, mostly concrete.

Lead rules

Brisbane City Council 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 Alderley for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.

Worth knowing

The Alderley suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Banks Street Reserve is the other local walk worth comparing.
