Lagoon open for dog swim again at Spring Lake Regional Park

The swimming lagoon at Spring Lake Regional Park in Santa Rosa will be opened up to dogs Monday. The event, called "Water Bark," follows a pair of pool parties for pooches that were big hits in the fall.

The entire lagoon area will become a leash-free zone Monday so dogs of all sorts can run, swim and play.

The first Water Bark event Sept. 17 drew more than 300 dogs, whose owners paid a nominal fee to raise funds for the blue plastic dog waste bags available at various locations around the park.

Monday's event runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The cost is $3 for Regional Park members and $5 for non-members.

Only dogs will be allowed in the water.
