Williamson County Parks and Recreation Teams with County Animal Center for Inaugural ‘Bark ‘n Splash Bash’

Can your dog paddle? Find out at the inaugural ‘Bark ‘n Splash Bash’ on Saturday, September 8 at the Longview Recreation Center at Spring Hill. The Williamson County Parks and Recreation Department (WCPR) and Williamson County Animal Center are pleased to announce this joint event that will raise money for the animal center’s special medical fund.

Evan Hampton, Aquatics Coordinator for WCPR said his staff is excited to host the event. “We know people love their dogs, and the Bark ‘n Splash Bash will give them a chance to enjoy playing with their dogs in the outdoor pool at our Longview Recreation Center.” During the special event, the pool area will be open only to pre-registered adult handlers (18+) and their dogs. Spectators are welcome to observe from the Bowwow Boosters section (free). 

Participants must pre-register at www.wcparksandrec.com. Space is limited to 40 participants per group, and the entry fee is $20 per pet. Small dogs, 40 lbs. and under (activity #13011) will swim at 9:00 a.m. Large dogs (activity #13012) will swim at 10:00 a.m. All dogs will swim at 11:00 a.m. Check-in will begin at 8:00 a.m. Proof of rabies is required for entry (no exceptions), and participants should review all rules and waivers during on-line registration.
