Its International Dog Day so lets celebrate our canine companions by booking this exciting event into our diaries! Thanks to our friends at Eastwoodhill Arboretum 🐶🐩🐕‍🦺🌳🌲🌿👏❤️

Exciting News from Eastwoodhill! 🐾 We're trialling a "Paws in the Park" Weekend!

Bring your furry friend along for a special trial weekend where dogs on leads are welcome to explore the Arboretum with you.

This is a rare treat—dogs aren’t usually allowed at Eastwoodhill, so don’t miss this special opportunity to explore the Arboretum with your four-legged friend!

Did you know there’s 25 km of walking track? What’s more, the Pop Up Tasty Leaf Café will also be open, serving yummy food and good coffee.



If this trial is a success, we'll look at making dog-friendly visits a regular monthly feature at Eastwoodhill!

📅 Trial Weekend Date: 20 and 21 September 2025 (First weekend of the school holidays!)

🐶 Rules: Dogs MUST be on a lead at all times and under control and vaccinated.

🐾 Doggy Etiquette Reminder: Please bring your own p**p bags and make sure to pick up after your dog. We have sheep grazing in the area, and undrenched dogs can leave contaminated faeces that may transmit diseases to livestock.

Help us keep Eastwoodhill beautiful and enjoyable for everyone—two-legged and four-legged visitors alike! We can’t wait to see you and your pooch at Eastwoodhill.
