Yorktown Invites Pooches To End-Of-Summer Pool Party

YORKTOWN, NY — A sure sign that summer is on its way out is when communities announce pool parties for pooches.

The town of Yorktown is inviting canines and their humans to come to Junior Lake Pool from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27.

The dogs will be allowed in the pool — the main pool and, for small dogs, the wading pool — for a refreshing swim before the facility is drained for the season.

Humans will not be allowed in the pool, but they can bring their dogs' favorite toy that can be enjoyed while splashing around.

Officials said all dogs must provide proof of dog license or up-to-date vaccination records at check in to enter the pool area.

Aggressive dogs will be asked to leave immediately, and you must clean up after your dog — waste bags will be provided.

The fee is $10 for residents and $15 for non-residents. Register online here.
