Good to know

Two separate fenced areas — large dogs (40 lb+) and small dogs (under 40 lb); water fountains on site but no dog-swim water.
Lighted for night use and open until 11:30 PM — the cooler late hours are ideal during Texas summer heat.
Sits in the Trinity River floodplain, so it can close or get muddy after heavy rain; bring water and watch for overheating.
