Before kids return to school, it’s time for the annual end of summer pool party for our four-legged friends. The Upper County Outdoor Pool in Gaithersburg hosts two sessions on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 26 and 27.
The pool will be open for dogs to play from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. For a $10 fee, dogs get their chance to paddle in the pool before it closes for the summer and the annual cleaning. Human companions attending the party with their pooches can only wade in up to their knees.
Dogs must have a current Montgomery County dog license and written proof of a rabies vaccination. Each dog must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Any dog displaying any signs of aggression will be asked to leave immediately.
