Mark Your Calendars: A Pool Party Just for Dogs Is Coming to Belton and Temple

Next Saturday, there will be two opportunities to enjoy the sunshine safely with your best friend. One of them is Dunkin’ Doggies, a Temple Parks and Recreation event hosted at Lion Junction Waterpark. The event celebrates the end of summer by giving pups a chance to splash around and cool off. Emelie Palma, spokesperson for the City of Temple, explained that each year, the city drains the pools at the end of the season—making it the perfect time to host a fun and unique event for the dog-loving community. She added that the event brings pet owners from across Temple together and provides a great bonding experience for residents and their dogs, while highlighting the special role pets play in the community.

Palma also noted that Dunkin’ Doggies only happens once a year and offers something truly unique. “You don’t see many chances for dogs to take over a waterpark,” she said. “It’s a fun, memorable, and one-of-a-kind way to close out the summer.”
