Mockingbird Point Dog Park renovation
The White Rock Dog Park is tentatively slated to open Saturday, May 30. But if rain continues, this fragile grand-opening date goes under with the rest of the area’s dry land. Yeah, it might not happen. If the sun shines, though, expect ceremonies, fanfare and presentations between 10 a.m. and noon. Visit whiterockdogpark.org for the latest updates.
On May 30, the Pour House is throwing a party from noon-5 p.m. in support of the Lakewood Exchange Club and our neighborhood schools. A $30 ticket buys pizza, beer and entertainment by The O’s, fronted by Woodrow grad John Pedigo. The Pour House, 1919 Skillman, 214.824.1170, pourhousedallas.com, $30
