Dog Swim

Treat your canine to a doggone good time at Red Oaks Waterpark! After the pool closes to humans for the season, we’re giving our four-legged friends an opportunity to make a splash during the annual Dog Swim from noon-3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12.

Dogs will enjoy nearly one hour of swimming, playing and socializing in a safe, fun environment designed with dogs and their humans in mind. Whether your dog enjoys paddling, fetching or simply lying down in the refreshing water, there’s an activity for them.

What to expect:

  • Dog swim in weight groups:
    • Noon-12:50 p.m. for dogs 70 pounds and larger
    • 1-1:50 p.m. for dogs 31-69 pounds
    • 2-2:50 p.m. for dogs 30 pounds and smaller
  • Plenty of tail-wagging fun
  • Photo opportunities
  • Meet with fellow dog lovers and their furry friends

How to prepare:

  • All dog owners must show current Michigan dog license along with proof of current vaccinations at time of the event
  • Dogs must be accompanied by a human
  • Bring a leash and towel for your furry friend

Preregistration is $10/dog and includes entry and the 50-minute swim session.
