Strickland Arboretum

Park•Narara

Confirmed

Park•Narara

Strickland Arboretum is a dog-friendly on-leash walking trail through a landscaped, shaded setting. The trail is short but pleasant, with water crossings that can get muddy. There's drinking water available, and the tree coverage keeps it cool even on warm days. It's a quiet, low-key spot that works well for a calm on-leash walk rather than an energetic outing.
