Clark Community Pool Opens to Dogs Next Tuesday
Maria Torres · Union County Life
Clark Recreation is giving dogs a turn at the Community Pool on Tuesday, September 9, from noon to 2 p.m., at 201 Oak Ridge Road. The event celebrates the end of summer with a unique opportunity for dog owners and their furry companions to enjoy the pool together.
The event is organized by dog size to ensure a comfortable experience for all participants. Small dogs have first access, swimming from noon to 1 p.m. Large dogs take over from 1 to 2 p.m., allowing each group their own designated time in the pool.
All participating dogs must be friendly and accompanied by their handlers. This requirement ensures a safe and positive environment for dogs, owners, and pool staff. After their swim, dogs will receive complimentary Milk-Bones as a treat to celebrate their pool time.
Dog owners must register in advance through the Clark Recreation Department. Registration is required to reserve your dog's spot and ensure adequate supervision during the event. Contact Clark Recreation directly for registration details and to sign up for the Doggy Dip.
