Unleash the fun!
Bring your canine companions for a day of fun at the 19th annual Bark ‘n’ Splash Bash! Dogs will be allowed to swim and frolic in the Activity Pool, which features a pooch-pleasing play structure and sloped beach-style entry into the water. (As a standard post-season procedure, the pool will be drained, sanitized, and inspected after the event.)
For the water-shy, there’s an abundant lawn for romping, lounging, and doggie socializing. A variety of dog-related groups and vendors will be on hand to provide information and product samples.
Dog licenses will be available on-site for a fee.
Please note: Proof of rabies vaccination is required for licensing.
Admission: $10 per dog (human companions are free!)
NOTE: you must present written proof of current dog licenses; dogs must be on leash for entry (off-leash areas available inside the facility)
Questions about becoming a Bark n’ Splash partner or vendor booth opportunities at the event, contact FNelson@folsom.ca.us/916-461-6614.
