The Crank Arm Durham Sunday Dog Walk is a weekly guided group walk through downtown Durham that starts and ends at the Crank Arm taproom. Led by a local pet care expert, the group explores different neighborhood routes each week, highlighting local history and public art along the way. This free event is open to all ages and welcomes friendly, leashed dogs. The walk lasts about 45 to 60 minutes at a very relaxed pace, making it easy for younger children to keep up. Because Crank Arm is located within the Bullpen social district, adults can purchase a beverage to carry along on the walk. Street parking is available nearby, and you should bring water for both your family and your dog. It is a low-pressure way to get the kids outside for some fresh air, exercise the family dog, and connect with other local pet owners on a Sunday afternoon.
