The City of Joondalup Dogs Day Out is back on Sunday 26th March at Lexcen Park (Ocean Reef). This is a family-friendly celebration of man's best friend, with dogs encouraged to take part in the fun.

This year’s Dogs Day Out is shaping up to be extra paw-pular with the exciting addition of a Coastal Dog Walk to kick off the festivities. 

This involves a leisurely 3.2km round-trip walk from Lexcen Park and along the coastal path between Boat Harbour Quays and Resolute way exit. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Sunset Coast with your furry friend and like-minded dog lovers.


Registrations are essential and participants will be rewarded with an exclusive doggie bag (whilst stocks last).Registrations will be accepted online here from March 8 and will close on March 20 (5.00pm).

Registered participants and their four-legged friend are also invited to have their photo snapped on the Pupparazi Red Carpet.
