Good to know
- Each section has a real dog pond for swimming plus an on-site dog-wash area — rinse off afterward, as the ponds are untreated and can get murky in summer heat.
- Gulf Coast heat and humidity peak midday in summer; the 5 AM weekday open is ideal for beating the heat, and the mature shade trees help.
- The official Precinct 1 page lists weekday hours (Mon–Fri 5 AM–10 PM) only — confirm weekend access on site.
