Seeking Other Leash-Free Realms

Now that Animal Control is once again on the prowl, it might be prudent to consider other leash-free options that are also legal. (A novel idea.) Auditorium Shores is one such option. Roma was too old for water sport, and Muzzy is not too keen on it--being from Oklahoma and all, but I've heard that the mood at Aud Shores is relaxed (as are the standards, compared to our Park). Still, I regularly get e-mails from Austin Parks and Recreation, and today's told about an upcoming doggie event at Lady Bird Lake. Here are the details:
