Yorkshire Coast Water Park Invites Dogs to Cool Off on Paddle Boards

North Yorkshire Water Park at Wykeham is inviting dog owners to "SUP with your Pup"

With today expected to be the hottest day of the year, North Yorkshire Water Park, has announced it will be welcoming dogs to join their owners who are taking part in stand-up paddle boarding (or SUPs) in order for them to cool off and enjoy the outdoors in the picturesque surroundings of the Wykeham Lakes.

Not only that, but any paddling pups enjoying the SUPs will also be treated to a complimentary doggy ice cream at the Café @ North Yorkshire Water Park to refresh themselves after their activity.

The RSPCA has been providing advice with ways to protect the nation’s much-loved pets during the summer heatwave – especially dogs, as they are more likely to suffer with heatstroke due to exertion. Walks during the day have been advised against, but access to shade and water is recommended.

The Water Park says that dogs have always been welcomed on a lead, but this initiative will hopefully welcome dog owners down who know their canines are seeking some much needed cool relief.

James Whitehead, Operations Manager at North Yorkshire Water Park, says:

“We have all been trying to beat the heat this week, so welcoming pups to paddle board is our way of helping out – we know they must be struggling in this heat and what better way to cool down than join their owners on the lake for some refreshing fun.

“Dogs will be allowed to join owners booking SUPs for a limited time only, so please get booked in to avoid disappointment!”

The park say that the offer is open to all customers on Friday 17th June through to Sunday 19th June. For further information and bookings, visit https://www.northyorkshirewaterpark.co.uk/.
