On Saturday, September 26th, the City of McAllen Parks & Recreation Department will host its first annual Doggie Day at the Pool. The first annual event takes place at Los Encinos Swimming Pool (3300 Sarah Avenue) in McAllen from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Doggie Day at the Pool will be a fun day for dogs and their owners to have some fun in the sun prior to Los Encinos Pools’ annual fall cleaning. Dogs get to swim and compete in a costume contest while owners get to meet other dog owners. Admission for this event will be $1 per dog with a two dog max per person. Open swim and a costume contest will be a part of the day’s fun-filled activities. Dog owners are welcome to bring water toys for their pooches!
Pet owners are required to bring their dog’s proof of vaccination the day of the event. Dogs must be trained and play well with others. Los Encinos Swimming Pool will close for the season and maintenance following Doggie Day at the Pool.
Registration is available at any of the City’s three community centers (Lark, Las Palmas or Palm View) or online at www.mcallen.net/parks. For more information please call the Parks and Recreation Department at 681-3333.
