Has the pond been tested for blue algae. I'm just scared to let my dog swim if he is going to get sick.

This is from the official Facebook page. The entire entry doesn't fit, so please see the Facebook page for more info: "We've been getting a lot of inquiries about the blue-green (anabaena) algae in the Bark Park pond. It is common this time of year and, unfortunately, even if treated will return. Once the temperature cools down it will die off and no longer be present. The Bark Park gets an enormous amount of runoff from the softball fields causing challenges with the pond. We are working with the county to mitigate the problem, then hopefully we can make improvements to the pond. While we’ve had no issues with dogs continuing to play in the pond, the algae could cause minor skin irritation and cause itching. With that in mind, we suggest taking advantage of the wash down area in the dog lobby and rinse your dog well before leaving the park. For some, this is standard practice with many even bringing along dog shampoo. If you are uncomfortable with your dog using the pond, please feel

Yea not sure also but have witness mine and other dogs swimming with no issue.
