I'm sure most of you don't know who Aina Blake is other then the dog park is named after her...but I'm sad to say this glorious woman who was in her mid 90's passed away today. I'll never forget the delight in her eyes when we drove her to the park to unveil the sign revealing the new name of the park. She was so humble and said she didn't deserve the honor. Well, she sure did! Aina was the force behind building the new Universal City Animal Care and Control shelter, She was the power behind the non profit Homes for Homeless Pets, that subsidises the medical care and adoptions at the shelter. She and her deceased husband General Blake were the reason we had an animal shelter at all! Aina could hold a bake sale that was sold out in 30 minutes. People would write checks for a few thousand dollars for a dozen cupcakes, to fund her Homes for the Homeless. That's why I dubbed her the "Cupcake Queen".
So, while you enjoy the park, as you walk under the AINA B. BLAKE Dog Park, Universal City sign, look up and say a little THANK YOU to this small of body but huge of heart woman who gave so much!

Dog Park will reopen on May 18. We know how exciting this is and how many of you will want to flock to the park. Please remember, social distancing...if the park is over crowded, please try to come back another time. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE clean up after your dogs! It's going to be overwhelming with the number of dogs in the park if you don't..not to mention the spread of diseases. PLEASE think twice before bringing a toy that other dogs can get their mouths on.....Just be safe and lets hope we can stay open.

The moment you've been waiting for! Universal City Parks will be reopening May 18th but with a few exceptions. The Northview Splashpad, Cimarron Clubhouse and fields for Team Sports will still be closed. Veterans Park will be remain closed due to the construction on East Aviation.

We encourage you to still take social distancing measures when visiting the parks. The following are guidelines listed in the Governor's Open Texas plan.
-Self-screen before going to a park.
-Maintain at least 6 feet separation from others not within the individual’s group at the park. The individual’s group may not exceed the greater of the individual’s household or up to 5 individuals who go to the park together.
-Consistent with the actions taken by many individuals across the state, it is not mandated but consider wearing cloth face coverings (over the nose and mouth) at a park where other groups are gathering.

Good afternoon. Summer is here and so far it is a hot one. Make sure whenever you decide to walk you dog check the asphalt/concrete surface. Remember if it is too hot for your bare feet it is too hot for your animals paws.

The re-dedication of this great dog park in honor of a woman who has dedicated her life to the well being of animals in our area. She and her husband Gordon Blake established the first animal shelter some 45 years ago. She founded Homes for Homeless Pets that has raised thousands of thousands of dollars that pays for the animal shelters medical costs as well as subsidizes adoption fees. She pushed and was instrumental in the building of our beautiful Animal Care and Control 10 years ago and still is a major part of its operations and the dog park was a vision she got to see become a reality! Thank you Aina Blake! You’ve made such a difference in thousands of lives!
