The walk
Underfoot it is asphalt and concrete.
Lead rules
ACT Government manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.
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 Acton for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
Worth knowing
The Acton suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Acton Dog Park is the other local walk worth comparing.
