Curtin Horse Paddock Walk – Dog Friendly Walk in Curtin ACT
The Curtin Horse Paddock Walk is a much‑loved local trail offering a mix of open parkland, scenic views, and plenty of space for dogs to explore. Covering approximately 4.5 km and taking around 75 minutes to complete, it combines long off‑leash stretches with an on‑leash section through the government horse agistment paddock. The route begins and ends at the bustling Curtin shops on Strangways Street, where you’ll find dog‑friendly cafés, public toilets, and parking.
Along the way, walkers enjoy sweeping views west to the Brindabellas and north to the National Arboretum and Black Mountain. The terrain varies, with some uneven ground in the horse paddock section, so it may be challenging for those with knee or ankle issues.

– Approx. 4.5 km loop, allow about 75 minutes
