It's paw-ty time for the canine community.

To celebrate the end of summer pool season, we're unleashing the fun at Waltham Summer Pool. Dog parents can bring their pups along for a play during one of four sessions.

Attend the following paw-ty session times based on your pooch’s size. Each session is 90 minutes:

  • 9am to 10.30am – Small Dogs (approx. 46cm and below)
  • 11am to 12.30pm – Medium Dogs (approx. 46cm to 64cm)
  • 1pm to 2.30pm – Large Dogs (over 64cm)
  • 3pm to 4.30pm - Open session (no size limit)

Only one dog per owner, please.

This event is run in association with the Christchurch City Council Animal Management Team who will donate all proceeds to a deserving cause.

Aldwins Road Vet clinic will offer free dental hygiene checks to dogs and advise owners on how to take care of their dogs’ teeth.

Rain or shine, the event will go ahead - Have a paws-ome time!
