What Johnny Steele Dog Park Looks Like in Lake Mode

Johnny Steele Dog Park After Heavy Rains, Buffalo Bayou Park, Houston

No Buffalo Bayou Park fun this morning for Swamplot coverdog Kep, on account of the whole Johnny Steele Dog Park at the intersection of Studemont and Allen Pkwy. is flooded after yesterday’s downpours. Which is what a bayou-side park is expected to do during and after weather like yesterday’s.

More pics of the scene:

  • Given the crowds that park attracts, a good rinse off is probably for the best

  • Too much concrete? that’s why you put a park or other “non-essential” amenity along a flood prone waterway–because it’s going to flood sooner or later.

  • Is it closed? Pretty sure my pup would enjoy it more as a water park.

  • Given the number of pet owners frequenting this park that are negligent in cleaning up after their four-legged charges I’m betting this is a heady brew of stink.

  • It was cleaner when it was unofficial.

  • as much as most dogs like water, that dog looks unamused.

  • “What is this shit? Not amused” – dog in the first picture

  • I went by there yesterday hoping all water would be gone and it is but now there’s a layer of gross everywhere. I’d be down to help clean it up and make it useable again. We used to go down there every sunny day so if any group or anything is going down there to help clean let me know id love to help out. r_c257@txstate.edu
