Have-a-go Activities

TRINITY PARK, IPSWICH

Bring your dog and have fun together at this year’s have-a-go-activities*! It’s a great chance to bond with your dog and learn something new – or if you’ve tried the activities before, you can build on your skills together. If you enjoy yourselves, make sure you speak to the team running the activity as they may run a club that you can join too! 

*activities subject to change and small additional charges may apply.

FLYBALL

Are you looking for a new activity to enjoy with your dog? Perhaps you want to help socialise your dog while providing excellent exercise that stimulates their brain, agility, and heart rate.

There will be two or three lanes set up so you and your dog can have a go! Activity is run by Be Right Back Flyball.
