Join the fun at the second annual Puppy Pool Party at the Freeport Recreation Center’s outdoor kiddie pool on Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024, located at 130 E. Merrick Road.
Hosted by Mayor Robert T. Kennedy and the Freeport Recreation Center, this event features two sessions: noon to 1 p.m. for dogs under 40 pounds, and 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. for dogs weighing between 40 and 80 pounds.
Admission is $10, with all proceeds benefiting Ruff House Rescue in West Islip.
The rescue agency will also be present with adoptable pets.
Owners are welcome to join their furry friends in the pool.
“The Puppy Pool Party is just a great event and a lot of fun for the dogs and their owners,” says Mayor Robert T. Kennedy, who has a golden retriever.
“We had nearly three dozen dogs last year. The Kiddie Pool area is a great place to have it because there’s also a large grassy area, as well.
We’re also having an adoption event with West Islip’s Ruff House Rescue here in the parking lot.
Like our two new dog parks at Cow Meadow Park, the pool party at the Rec Center tells everyone that the Village of Freeport loves its four-legged residents as well.”
