Ballarat is hosting its first-ever Dog Day Pool Party this month

PSA All Doggo & Woofer Enthusiasts: A pool party dedicated to doggos is coming to Ballarat

Are you keen to take your four-legged friend to the ultimate Ballarat pool party? Then we have found the perfect event for you!

The inaugural Dog Day Pool Party will be held on Sunday 23 April, giving you the chance to bring your dog along for a one-off swim in Ballarat’s Eureka Pool.

Stay up to date with what’s happening in and around the region here.

Located at 102 Stawell St S, Ballarat East, the two-hour event will mark the end of the outdoor pool season in Ballarat, before Eureka Pool is closed to the public for winter.

A first-time event for Ballarat, the pool party offers locals and tourists alike the perfect opportunity to treat your beloved pooch to an afternoon of swimming fun.

City of Ballarat Mayor, Cr Des Hudson said the event was designed to provide Ballarat residents (and their pets) with a simple, fun, and cost-effective way to spend an afternoon, with the event costing $5 per adult and $4.20 per child aged over five with dogs get in free.

“We know how many dog lovers exist in Ballarat and we think this is a great way to give them and their dogs an afternoon they will love,” Cr Hudson said.

“It is also another way to utilise our fantastic facilities like Eureka Pool in a diverse way and perhaps show people a venue they might not have visited before.

“However, we really do ask people follow the rules and make sure it is an enjoyable day for everybody.”

Additional pool rules will be in place on the day to maintain the safety of patrons and there will be a cap of numbers allowed into the pool at one time. Dog owners are also reminded of their responsibility to remain in active control of their dogs.

The Dog Day Pool Party will be held on Sunday 23 April from 2pm-4pm. If you’re keen to get involved and attend this epic Dog Day Pool Party, all you need to do is register here
