Zoomies Paws Party | Play Outside Day

Event

Canberra winters might be chilly, but that's no reason to stay indoors! This month, Haig Park is hosting a special Play Outside Day: Paws Party Edition to get you and your pooch outside and having fun. So rug up and round up your family (two- and four-legged) to come on down to Haig Park for a pawsome morning of games, play and zoomies!

There's loads to get your morning pumping:

Game on! Challenge your family, friends or fellow dog owners to a round of badminton, pickleball, cornhole or basketball. There will also be outdoor board games. Whether you're a tad competitive or playing for fun, there's something for everyone.

Every good dog loves a zoomie! Let your four-legged friend burn off some energy with a range of fun dog games and activities.

If being active is not your thing, there's plenty of room to put your feet up and enjoy the crisp Canberra morning.

Get creative with some pawsitively brilliant craft activities.

Local favourite Wayne Kelly returns with a playlist that will get everyone moving and grooving!

Keep the good vibes rolling with a lap of the Haig Park Village Markets. Refuel with delicious food, discover local makers and pick up some treats before heading home.
