Dawn to Dusk
The park is closed at night. After dark, police will consider you a trespasser. The animals and mosquitoes may consider you dinner.
People are encouraged to walk their dogs here. However, both KSA rules and City law require leashes. Police may ticket violators, especially those who persist in being a nuisance. Exercise common sense to keep dogs welcome in this park. If your dog threatens others or if people complain about it, remove it. Please remove all droppings from trails. And please keep dogs out of the meadow from November through March; several endangered bird species winter here.
The following activities pose a danger to the park, people or wildlife, and are prohibited:
ATVs
These trails were designed for hiking, jogging and biking. Motorized vehicles
destroy them; they create ruts that make trails difficult to walk on. ATVs also
endanger people who may be just out of sight around a tight corner!
Hunting
Many types of wildlife use East End Park as a refuge. Fishing is permitted, but
please don’t harm, harass, or attempt to catch anything else. Again, you are inside the City. Discharging firearms is against the law and could land you in jail.
Camping
Coyotes, bobcats, alligators, poisonous snakes, bats and other wild animals call
this park home. So do many mosquitoes, deer flies and other man-eating insects. Crocodile Dundee wouldn’t camp here; you shouldn’t either.
Fires and Fireworks
Grass and forest fires can spread out of control rapidly. They pose a danger to surrounding homes. They also destroy habitat for wildlife. If you see a fire in the
park, call the Houston Fire Department at 911 immediately.
Littering
To preserve the natural experience for your neighbors, please take out anything you bring into the park or place it in one of the trash barrels.
