Dogs In Togs
Get Ready for a Pawsitively Fun Day at the Makino Aquatic Centre!
Dogs in Togs is back at the Makino Aquatic Centre on Sunday, April 19, and it's going to be an unforgettable day for your four-legged pals. Whether your dog loves to swim or just enjoys splashing around, this event is perfect for all pups who enjoy a good time in the water.
For one special day, the outdoor pool will be dedicated to our canine companions. As the summer season winds down, the Makino team will stop chemical treatments after closing the pool to the public, making it safe for dogs to take a dip and have fun.
