After the humans are finished using the Riverside Centennial Outdoor Pool for the season, the dogs get to take it over for a day. The City of Windsor is hosting the third annual Pooch Plunge at the Riverside pool at 6695 Wyandotte Street East on Sunday, Sept. 13, the weekend after the pool closes for “people programming.” City officials say pool chemistry will be adjusted to create a friendly swimming opportunity prior to decommissioning for the season. The pool has a beach-style shallow entry that allows dogs to walk into water gradually, though dogs are also welcome to jump in the deeper water areas! It is also fully fenced in, allowing for off-leash designation during the event. While on site, participants can enjoy some fun activities: Advance registration is required. The fee is $10 per dog, free for humans (up to maximum of three dogs, with one human per dog). Space is limited, so anyone interested is encouraged to register by calling 519-255-1161, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Session Times: When you register, staff will provide participants with safety guidelines, a pre-swim waiver and info on how to submit proof of spay/neuter and vaccination information prior to the event.
