Dogs – you can’t have a better time than that!

establishing a Nelsonville Dog Park

GUIDELINES – PLEASE brush your dog prior to coming to the event. Please help
us by brushing and rinsing your dog by the pool prior to them entering the
water. Dogs should also be rinsed before leaving the event, as some chlorine
will be in the water, although at low levels which are considered safe. Bring
life jackets for your dog if they aren’t experienced swimmers.

The City of Nelsonville requires that dogs be licensed and current with
vaccinations and paperwork should be shown at the entrance. Core vaccinations

Puppy boosters must be up-to-date and is set at every 4 weeks until 16 weeks
old and a booster at 1 year of age. Rabies must also be given within the past 3
years for adult dogs and within the year for dogs under 2 years old. Bordetella
should have been given in the past year.

Water toys will be available. If you bring a toy, it is at your own risk.

Humans are NOT allowed in the water, including the zero-entry area due to
concerns set forth by the Department of Health.

Please do not force dogs into the water. If they are scared, just let them
run around and have fun. Forcing tentative dogs into the pool will not be
allowed.

Children must be supervised closely and are not allowed on diving boards,
slides or in the water at any time.

Please leave aggressive dogs at home for everyone’s safety.
