Dogs must be up to date on all necessary vaccinations to enter the event. While in the park and for the safety of all guests, owners are responsible to keep their dogs at hand and under control at all times. To maximize the fun and space for the pups, owners should not go past knee depth in the water. Food and beverages will be available for purchase at park concession stands for the humans and fresh water will be available for the dogs. Female dogs in heat and puppies under six months old are not allowed. For other rules and tips, visit CharlestonCountyParks.com.
