It’s a sure sign summer is nearly over. This weekend was the final weekend of the season at Salina’s Kenwood Cove water park.

After closing Sunday, Kenwood Cove will open one final time Monday evening for a final year-end special event.

The final event of the season will then be the Pooch Plunge on August 14th.  Adults are invited to bring their dogs for a dip in the pool before it is closed for the season, and cleaned.

The Pooch Plunge event is from 5 till 8. Admission is $5 for adults and dogs get in free.

There are a few rules to remember, which include:

• Only owners and their dogs will be allowed in water.
• Owners are limited to two dogs each.
• Children under 16 are not allowed in pool.
• Dogs need proof of vaccination.
• Female dogs in heat are not allowed.
• Keep dogs on a leash while not in the water.
• Owners must clean up after their dogs.
• No dangerous dogs as outlined by the City ordinance passed on August 9, 2004.

Following the Pooch Plunge, Kenwood Cove will close until it opens again over Memorial Weekend 2024.
