Idaho’s Lakeview Park lets their favorite four-legged friends run through the “sprayground,” on final day of its summer season – all for a worthy cause!

Thanks for sharing this. They do this at a couple public/park district pools in Omaha, NE, as well.
The dogs sure looked like they were having a great time.
It seems the thinking is, that the pools will be drained and/or cleaned at the end of the season, so why not let the dogs have a party?

My Bichon hates water. I took him to Dog Swim one year. Place him in the kiddy poll and he immediately goes to the wall wanting to get out. The way he acts I think he was a cat in a previous life.

That was cute.
Later
Hey! I got my FR name on my license too!
That’s great! Thanks for posting.
At my local Y the members dogs get to go in the big outdoor pool the last day before they empty it and clean it...
one end is quite shallow and its designed for smaller children and toddlers..
I think its this weekend...
That’s so cute!!
The lake, which was man-made for irrigation, is long since gone (1960s, I think), but the park's name remains.
Funny enough, the town where I currently live, Rio Rancho, NM, also opens the pools to the dogs on the last day of the year in at least one of the city pools at Haynes Park.
The water park is in Nampa

There is also a Lakeview park in Sandpoint
We had a cat who thought he was a dog. He was inseparable from the dog. Followed him everywhere.
If the dog was not around *Nosey* the cat would curl up in his food bowl....knowing that when he came into the house, that was the first place the Lab checked when entering.
Ba-da-bing.
Since Sandpoint sits on a leg of Lake Pend Oreille, I'm bettin' their Lakeview Park has a better view...
Nampa's pretty much sits in an area surrounded by residential to the south, commercial/industrial to the west and north, and railroad tracks to the east.
Yeah it’s a park in the national park sense not the amusement park type.
edzo4,
Good job,

NOw back to tying thing down for Irma.
