What’s news? 📰

About 2,500 pooches and their people flocked to last Sunday’s 11th annual Fur Run event at Macfaull Park. We love hosting this event! Drop some canine snaps in the comments if you were there. 🐶

Congrats to our award-winning Cockburn ARC team, taking home three accolades from the LIWA Aquatics 2026 WA Aquatic & Recreation Industry Awards. 🏊‍♀️

It’s not always about looks you know! The resident Lorax-impersonators in our Urban Forest team are helping educate the community about why we keep some dead and declining trees.
The wildlife in our parks and bushland reserves loves them for it. 🐞

A dead tree is not a dead loss! 🐦‍⬛
We like to keep some of our dead and declining trees because they are a valuable food source and habitat.
They enrich the biodiversity of urban ecosystems with a range of insects, fungi and microorganisms, and provide shelter for cockatoo, reptile and small native animals.

On the domesticated animal front, leashed dogs and their owners are encouraged to attend the 11th annual Fur Run this Sunday at Macfaull Park in Spearwood. 🐕‍🦺
Come for the 1km fur run, the pooch parade and the plain old-fashioned fun.

Celebrated Nyungar artist Sharyn Egan has called Cockburn home for more than 33 years.
As the 21st inductee in our Quintessentially Cockburn series, the well-known West Australian reflects on her 69 years, what home means to her and how her art intersects with the vital role of truth-telling in reconciliation and healing for the Stolen Generations. ❤️🖤💛

While the Fremantle Dockers AFLW team may have lost their first home game at Cockburn ARC Oval, their eyes are firmly set on Sunday’s round 2 match against Collingwood in Victoria.
