Prepare for a doggone good time at the annual Dog Daze event at The Water Mine. This season-ending event welcomes people to bring their canine friends for dogs-only swimming.

Experience the joy of watching dogs swim and have an all-around good time. The popular event once again features a canine resource fair so you can visit pet-related vendors and learn more about fun opportunities for dogs around the county. The event is presented by Fairfax County Park Authority in partnership with Fairfax County Park Foundation.

For the safety of the dogs and owners, please observe the following rules:  

  • All dogs must be current on vaccinations.  
  • All dog handlers must be 18 years or older and supervise dogs at all times.  
  • No female dogs in heat or puppies younger than three months old.  
  • Aggressive or unruly dogs are not permitted.  
  • Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs.  
  • Dogs swim at owners’ risk.  
  • Humans are not permitted in the pool.  

Come out to enjoy the canine resource fair and family fun!  

All proceeds go to benefit parks through the Fairfax County Park Foundation.
