Pooches in the Pool - El Cariso Park - August 15th (Must bring Form)

Posted on 07/30/2026

The Pool Season’s Grand Finale — For Dogs!

Summer’s winding down, but the fun is just getting started for LA County’s four-legged residents. Pooches in the Pool transforms select County pools into a splash zone just for dogs — one last hurrah before the pools close for the season.

Bring your pup for an afternoon of swimming, splashing, and sniffing out new friends. While the dogs paddle and play, you’ll get to swap stories with fellow dog lovers poolside. It’s the kind of simple, joyful outing that reminds you why you got a dog in the first place.

Here’s how it works:

  •  Held on the final day of the seasonal pool program — dogs get the pool before it’s drained and cleaned for the year
  •  Swim times are separated by dog size, so every pup — from tiny to towering — has room to play safely
  •  All participants must follow Dog Day rules and bring a completed form

Participants must follow all Dog Day rules and bring a completed form to join the fun.

For one afternoon, five LA County pools trade lap swimmers for splashing pups — because if anyone deserves a season finale pool party, it's them.
 
LA County Parks and LA County Animal Care and Control are teaming up for Pooches in the Pool — a day of swimming, splashing, and poolside fun at five locations! Small dogs get first dibs on the water, then the big dogs take over for round two.
