Namadgi School to Kambah District Playing Fields

The Namadgi School to Kambah District Playing Fields walk is a return walk starting from the car park off O'Halloran Circuit, Kambah. You'll be provided with hill and mountain vistas as you make your way through the spacious greenery. This walk is pet-friendly and offers off-leash opportunities. The dog-friendly 'Mannheim Cafe' is minutes away. The walk is wheelchair accessible and on a smooth, flat path. The playing fields are quite large, so you don't need to worry about the busyness. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
