Water Festivals for Dogs

Water playgrounds  in Deerfield and Hollywood that are typically for kids and families are open specifically for dogs at designated K9 Water Festivals, popular with pooches and their people.

At water park events for dogs, some pups step into the shallow water and stand. Others fly into the water, swim and retrieve floating toys.  Dogs and their families adore it. Proof of rabies vaccine and tag are required. 

Fees for dogs are $5 and $6 per 50-minute increment in the water park.  Weekend park entry fees are $3 per vehicle for up to eight people. For vehicles with at least 9 people, the vehicle entry fee is $20.
