“We were thrilled to welcome more than 38,000 visitors to the Evelyn Alexander Waterpark during the 2025 season,” said Jenna Kinder, Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation. “Closing out our year by inviting the community’s dogs to dive in feels like the perfect way to end on a high note. We think this will be a dog-gone good time, and we can’t wait to see tails wagging as we make a splash together.”
Pulaski County Animal Control is also partnering on the event to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for pets and patrons alike. “Our officers will be onsite to help everyone have a positive experience,” said Julie Webb, Senior ACO and Shelter Manager with Pulaski
County Animal Control. “We’ll also be sharing information about our community programs and introducing special pet tags that allow owners to upload contact information and veterinary records. This initiative helps reduce shelter visits by making it easier for lost pets to be reunited directly with their families.”
