WATER AT McWILLIAMS DOG PARK: Due to a water break in the area, not all of the water features in the McWilliams Dog Park have access to water and are not operational. The water features currently affected will be without water until further notice as the City of Houston completes the repairs necessary to restore water to the entire McWilliams Dog Park. We apologize for the inconvenience.
