Pet policy
Dogs on lead; not within 10 m of play spaces, barbecues or fireplaces in use (Parks ACT).
Moncrieff Community Recreation Park sits on a hilltop off Bon Scott Crescent in Moncrieff, with paved paths, a colourful playground and a miniature learn-to-ride track. Dogs are welcome on lead.
Lead rules
ACT rules keep dogs on lead here, and out of the zone within 10 metres of play spaces, barbecues or fireplaces in use. With a busy playground in the middle, plan your loop around the edges.
The walk
The paths are paved and smooth, linking the open grass, fitness equipment and courts. There is drinking water, shelters and shade sails, and public toilets on site.
Make a day of it
For off-lead time, try Forde Dog Park or Springbank Rise Dog Park.
When to go
Weekday mornings, before the playground gets busy. The even paths suit older dogs.
