As dog owners it is your civic duty to spend your public Labour Day holiday by taking your special pupperino to a pool paddling puppy extravaganza in Belgrave.

Yep, you read that correctly. The brilliant folks at the Belgrave Heated Outdoor Pool are once again holding their annual puppy pool party which means your floofy child can splash around to their hearts content.

On the last day of the season without a load pesky swimmers to get in their way the Belgrave Heated Outdoor Pool – which is normally reserved exclusively for humans – gives dogs the opportunity to have full use of the pool to perfect their doggy paddle before it closes for winter.

The event will be held on 11 March at the Belgrave Heated Outdoor Pool from 6-7pm. The date may change however so keep updated by visiting the Belgrave Heated Outdoor Pool Facebook page.
