Update about closing of Danny Jackson Park from Mike McMahan of Pct. 3:

"Metro has not at this time [10/22/07] given us a time or date when or if they're going to reclaim the property {Danny Jackson dog park}. They haven't notified us that this is happening. They haven't notified us that they want to end the lease. We know it's a possibility it could happen at any time, but as of now we've not been notified of a date. As of right now, we do not have a piece of real estate that could be used as a dog park in that area [if Danny Jackson is reclaimed]."

Katy Dog Park Closed for construction of a pond.
Re-opening date unknown. Contact Katy Parks Dept for updates.

Update from Sugarland Parks Dept about new dog park:
" A dog park is shown in the master plan of the park, but is not in the first phase. We have not yet determined in what phase of the Sugar Land Memorial Park the dog park will be constructed."
