What’s on in Christchurch this weekend?
Pooch Pool Party
To celebrate the end of summer pool season, Waltham and Templeton Summer Pools will hold dog pool parties this weekend. The pool parties will be split over two days on 6 and 7 April.
The Waltham session is on Saturday 6 April with different session times based on your pooch’s size: Small dogs (up to 46cm) can splash around from 9 – 10.30am, medium dogs (46 – 64cm) from 11am – 12.30pm, large dogs (over 64cm) from 1 – 2.30pm, and an open session for all sizes from 3 – 4.30pm. Templeton Summer Pool will be open to all dogs from 10am – 12pm. This event is run in association with the Christchurch City Council Animal Management Team who will donate all proceeds to a deserving cause. It costs $3.50 per dog at the Waltham Pool and a gold coin entry at the Templeton Pool.
