Haig Park

Explore

Haig Park spans 19 hectares across Braddon and Turner, offering a green retreat with a fitness track, barbecues, and a playground.

Known for its long rows of exotic trees, the park is a favourite spot for walks and picnics.

Dogs are welcome both on- and off-leash in designated areas, as outlined on the dog exercise map.

Visitors can discover art and activations, special events like markets, and striking plantings such as Monterey pines and Roman cypress.

At the Lonsdale Street entrance, a sign displays the United Ngunnawal Elders Council charter, complemented by four additional signs designed by Ngunnawal elder Wally Bell that highlight the cultural significance of Mount Ainslie, Haig Park, Sullivans Creek, and Black Mountain.

With nature play options, nearby bike tracks, and the Braddon entertainment precinct close at hand, Haig Park blends nature, culture, and community in the heart of Canberra.
