If you live in Wollongong<\/a> or are visiting the region with your dog, unfortunately the options for bushwalking with your dog are limited. The majority of the beautiful escarpment that runs behind the city is contained in the Illawarra Escarpment State Conservation Area<\/a>, where pets are not permitted. However, there’s still plenty of other dog-friendly walks in the Wollongong region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For starters, there’s the extensive shared pathway that runs along the region’s coastline, including between Thirroul, about 15km north of Wollongong, and Wollongong Harbour. Along the way it passes many of the dog-friendly beaches of Wollongong<\/a>, with great options for coastal walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are plans to construct an entire network of walking and bike tracks linking the Royal National Park and Lake Illawarra, dubbed the Grand Pacific Walk<\/a>. Some parts have already been completed, along with colourful signage and drinking fountains for humans and pups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve also dug up some other short bushwalks in the region that you can do with your dog. So the next time you’re looking to go walking somewhere different with your dog, tick off one of these dog-friendly walks near Wollongong. <\/p>\n\n\n
