Pooch Plunge 2018

Humans aren’t the only ones who deserve a nice, cool swim this summer! Join us for the 5th Annual Pooch Plunge at Hillside Pool on September 8 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This event does require registration - either online, at any recreation center or at the event - as well as a small fee to enter ($6 for City Residents and $11 for Non-City Residents).

Enjoy a fun-filled day at the pool, along with your best friend on four legs. The outdoor Hillside Pool provides a safe and enclosed environment for you and your dog to swim and play in the water. The pool has a zero entry ramp which allows the not so brave to enter the pool slowly or play and relax where their paws can touch the bottom. The very brave can jump from the sides, and paddle around while chasing toys and enjoying the day.

We’ll have beach music playing to set the mood, some toys, treats and drinking water for the dogs as well as human snacks and drinks. There is even a chance we will turn on the sprayground for dogs to run through and play in. If you would prefer or your dog does require a life jacket, please make sure to bring your own to the event.

Feel free to come and go as you please! All dogs must be accompanied by at least one adult (18 years or older). The maximum number of dogs is two per adult. Please note, you do not have to have dog park tags but are required to have the dogs meet the minimum vaccination requirements for the dog parks. Before entering the event, you will sign a waiver stating you understand the vaccination requirements and are fully compliant. Detailed information is available on our website regarding our vaccination requirements.

We hope you take the plunge and join us for this unique canine event! For more information, visit our website at DPRPlaymore.org. You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
