Good to know
- No swim pond here — water is limited to dog drinking fountains and cool-off showers, so bring your own bowl on hot days.
- Gulf Coast heat and humidity: the shade trees help, but midday summer sun is intense; go at dawn or dusk.
- City of Houston rules: visible registration/rabies tags required, leashed entering and exiting, off-leash only inside the fence.
