Take Your Dog Swimming For Canton Dog Park

CANTON, CT — Summer is winding down and, with that, comes a chance for local dog lovers to bring their dogs over to a Canton swimming pool early next week and raise money for a canine-centric cause.

The Canton Parks and Recreation Department's "Pooch Plunge" will take place Monday, Aug. 28, at Mills Pond Pool, 14 East Hill Road, Canton.

There, folks are invited to pay a $10 donation (proceeds benefit the Canton Dog Park) and allow their furry friend to enjoy time cooling off in a public swimming pool.

According to an event announcement, there are two "waves" of availability for dogs to swim.

One wave is from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m. and the second wave is from 6:45 to 7:30 p.m.

There is a 35-dog maximum per wave, according to local officials, so registration is required ahead of time.

Proceeds benefit the maintenance and upkeep of the Canton Dog Park, which opened in 2020 on 79 Commerce Drive.
