More #PrideMarch Photos

Just wanted to share some more #event photos from the Pride March last weekend in #StKilda.  It was a great day with a very positive and friendly atmosphere. We have so many different types of events in St Kilda and it's so nice to see that they're all welcomed and loved by everyone.  Congratulations to the LGBTIQ community and to Port Phillip Council on a successful day.

33°C at 5pm!

What a gloriously warm day today. St Kilda comes alive on warm and sunny days, and this is a sign that Summer is not too far away. How exciting!

 

There are plenty of great parks and gardens in the Port Phillip area. The St Kilda Botanical Gardens are always a beautiful place to chill out away from the beach crowds. Have a great day, folks! (Don't forget the sunscreen!)

Dogs off leash in Alma Park

As a dog owner, it's not difficult to know the importance of getting outdoors with you furry family member to let them get some fresh air and exercise.  It's also important that they have an opportunity to run and play freely without being restricted by a leash all of the time.

Alma Park in St Kilda East is a popular place for people to take their dogs.  In fact, it is common around 5pm each day, to see a whole group of like-minded dog owners in the park with their canines.  It's like a small community where people get to know each other and each others' dogs, they share stories about caring for their pets and offer each other advice, while the dogs run leash free.

 

As responsible dog owners, it is a requirement that people remain in control and in view of their dogs, as well as pick up after their dogs. The majority of people do this without any hesitation. However, some of the other dog owners will strongly "remind" people when they don't! It is such a shame when you witness some dog owners turning a blind eye when their dogs are doing their business, and then just walk away as if nothing happened.  The classic one is when you see someone looking at their smart phones conveniently at the right moment!  

 

Considering that the park is used by many other people as well, whether they be lads out kicking the football, or parents with their children in the playground, personal trainers utilizing some of the grass areas with their clients, or just people sitting and relaxing in the sunshine, there is nothing worse than stepping in, or even worse, sitting on, some unexpected doggy doo. 

 

There are other "off leash" parks around St Kilda and the City of Port Phillip if Alma Park is not near you.
