Thornton Park Going To The Dogs

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — Dog lovers rejoice. On Sept. 9, pooches and their owners will be able to take a swim, together, at Thornton Pool. The event does have an admission cost.

From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the community pool will be open to the dogs. The pool will be unchlorinated and unheated. A lifeguard will be on-duty.

The event costs $4 per dog/resident and $6 for non-residents. (To stay up to date on local stories, subscribe to the Patch Shaker Heights newsletter. As news breaks and the story develops, you will be the first to receive updates from Patch.)

Well-behaved dogs are welcome without additional restraints. If a resident is worried their dog might not behave, they will be asked to muzzle their animal. Call 216-491-1295 for information.

On the west side of Cleveland, Lakewood recently hosted its own day for the dogs at a community pool. Check out some videos from that event.

And some people just can't handle the diving board.
