Water World Goes to the Dogs for Annual Bow Wow Beach Doggie Day

Posted August 22, 2024

Water World, Colorado’s first and largest waterpark, is hosting its 7th Annual Bow Wow Beach Doggie Day on Saturday, September 7. Dogs of all sizes are invited to splash, swim, fetch, and play in four of the park’s signature attractions before Water World drains and cleans the pools for winter.

This annual event is organized in partnership with Adams County’s Riverdale Animal Shelter, with a portion of the proceeds supporting the shelter’s efforts to care for over 7,600 animals each year and provide low-cost vaccination and microchip clinics. This year, the shelter is also collecting gently used blankets, towels, and washcloths at the entrance to the event. Each family who brings a donation will receive a free dog treat.

While the dogs play, their human family members can enjoy food and beverages for purchase and visit community booths from Riverdale Animal Shelter, the City of Federal Heights Police and Animal Control Department, Hike Doggie, Fi Smart Collars, and Oat Paws Ice Cream. $1 from every Oat Paws purchase will be donated to Riverdale Animal Shelter.

Tickets are $9.99 per pup (plus taxes and fees) and can be purchased online at WaterWorldColorado.com. Dogs can choose from one of three play sessions: 8:15am-9:45am, 10:00am-11:30am, and 11:45am-1:15pm. All pups must be 1+ years of age, have a signed vaccination waiver, and be accompanied by a responsible adult owner. Humans are not permitted in the water.
