Million Paws Walk

Ipswich City Council is proud to host the Million Paws Walk event in Ipswich each year.  The event is not only a great day out for animal lovers and pets but also an important fundraising activity for the RSPCA. 

Million Paws Walk takes place in May every year.  Keep an eye out for more details closer to the date.

Off Leash Parks

Council's designated off-leash parks are a perfect opportunity for your dog to exercise as well as socialise with other dogs.  Please remember that when in the off-leash areas your pet needs to be under your control, either physically (on a lead) or by voice control.
