Important Notice: Dog Park Pass Application Suspension

Attention dog park enthusiasts!

Please note that the Alton Marina will be temporarily suspending the acceptance of dog park pass applications on June 21, 22, and 23, 2024. This is due to the upcoming F1 Powerboat Championship event that will take place during these dates. During this time, we will not be able to process new dog park pass applications or renewals. If you have an existing pass, it will remain valid until its expiration date. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. We will resume accepting dog park pass applications as soon as the event is concluded. Stay tuned for updates on the dog park page and follow us for more information on the Alton Marina and its facilities.

Thank you for your cooperation!
