It’s a sad day here at Houston as our dragon friend has decided to call it quits for the summer! He would just like to thank all his friends who came out to see him this season. He got to see his old friends and also met lots of new visitors who he hopes will come back and see him next season when his vacation is over. He is very grateful that even though he was under strict curfew this summer due to Covid that all of his visitors and friends practiced social distancing and wore their masks to help keep him safe!

Spray Dragon Hours Week of August 31st - September 6th Monday: 10-7 Tuesday & Wednesday: 11-7 Thursday & Friday: 10-7... Saturday & Sunday: 12-5 See more

And just like that summer camp is over! It was definitely a different kind of summer with less campers, no trips and lost of cleaning but we made the best of it and had a pretty wonderful summer! Thank you to all the campers and staff who came together to make sure everybody had a fun and safe time over the past 6 weeks! #covidcamp Here are some pics from our last week of camp!

We made the main page!!! https://www.facebook.com/PhilaParkandRec/videos/4479348088742807/?vh=e&extid=srOahO9jlze3t0Cd

A little outdoor art session!

We have power!!

Wednesday, August 5th Houston still does not have any power and there is still a low hanging wire cutting off access to the playground. There will be no Water Dragon-due to no electricity. If you are entering the area either park on Wissahickon At and walk up or carefully and slowly drive down the other way(one way) on Grakyn Lane.... Any questions or concerns you can message us and we will get back to you shortly.

Even though the sun is out shining our playground is still without power. Trees and wires are down everywhere in our area. Our sprinkler will NOT be on this afternoon due to no electric. Sorry for any inconvenience. Hopefully we get everything back up and running soon!!

We may not have won but we had fun making our 2020 fire prevention video!!
