What's on near The Lawson in Belconnen

A quick guide to the part of Canberra's Belconnen district our editors keep coming back to: the Lake Ginninderra loop, the gigs and gallery openings around Belconnen town centre, the University of Canberra and AIS just down the road, and the small bits of weekend life that make a Belconnen address feel lived in.

We're refreshing our featured precinct content for The Lawson. In the meantime, here's what we love about this corner of Belconnen.

Lake Ginninderra on a weekend

A flat loop around the lake with playgrounds, BBQs and a kiosk on the Belconnen side. Best at sunrise; coffee in the town centre afterwards.

Belconnen town centre

Westfield Belconnen for a wet-weather plan, plus independent cafes and the Belconnen Arts Centre's regular exhibition and live music calendar by the water.

UC and the AIS in Bruce

University of Canberra public lectures and gigs, the AIS Arena for big-ticket events, and Canberra Stadium next door for football and rugby nights.
