to use the facilities, everyone wishing to use the pool must check in with
the lifeguard when entering the pools. Memorial Parkway uses an online
check in called CELLBADGE SYSTEM. This is a mobile security badging
and you will no longer use a printed ID Card to enter the pool. Resident’s
will love not having to carry a card or an ID. CELLBADGE features no
paper forms but a one-time online registration. Resident’s will use
the mobile check-in and can see if the pool is open from home. If you
registered last year you do not need to do anything with your account
unless there have been changes. If you have not registered please visit
our website at mphoa.org and register under the Swim Info tab - Pool
Access CELLBADGE page.

GARAGE SALES
MPCA would like to suggest that garage sales be conducted the first Friday
and Saturday of each month. This will eliminate the many signs that are out
each week and also makes for a stronger turn out. Most area communities
only allow sales twice a year. Memorial Parkway could be known for its
“Once a Month” garage sales. Do not attach your garage sale signs to the
STOP signs, as it is against the law and the County can issue citations for
this. If a sign is on a public right of way, like the esplanades), they may be
subject to fines of $500-$1,000 per occurrence per day. We also ask that you
do not post your signs on the property of another resident. When your sale
is over, please go back and pick up all of your signs.
A NOTE FROM THE CONSTABLES
The Vacation Watch form is now available online on our website in the left
column. From this page (https://constablepct5.com/index.php/vacationwatch/)
you can fill in the form and submit it. The submitted form will
be emailed to dispatch for distribution. There is lots of good information
on Harris County Precinct 5 Constables’ office website. Residents are
encouraged to check it out at https://constablepct5.com/.
REMINDER FOR DOG WALKERS
Be a responsible/considerate pet owner by picking up your dog’s waste from your
neighbor’s yard when you’re out for a walk. There’s nothing more frustrating than
stepping in fecal matter in your own yard when you don’t even have a pet.

To report a burned out street light, you may contact CenterPoint Energy
at 713-207-2222 or online at www.centerpointenergy.com/outage. Please
know the number that is on the pole and street address of the pole.

25 CAMPGROUNDS WITHIN/AROUND
2 HOURS OF HOUSTON TX
It’s summertime and that means it’s time to get out the camping gear, fishing
poles and sun screen! There’s no better way to relax than to sit outside of the
tent you just set up and breathe in.
SAM HOUSTON NATIONAL PARK: NEW WAVERLY, TX
This gorgeous national park offers tent pads, picnic tables, parking spurs
for trailers, lantern posts, grills, potable water, and toilets. Hiking is very
popular in the spring when the climate is milder. Water activities get
going in the summer on Double Lake with canoes and paddleboats that
can be rented from the park. Deer is the most popular game animal in the
Sam Houston National Forest, with squirrels second. Quail and dove are
found around newly regenerated timberland. For the water sportsman,
fishing and duck hunting can be enjoyed on area lakes and streams.
BRAZOS BEND: NEEDVILLE, TX
This park has got plenty of options for activities during your stay. Lots
of trails, some of which are even wheelchair friendly, wind through the
woods and bring you to the water’s edge of the lake. Just make sure you’ve
brushed up on your alligator safety because they’re not uncommon in
certain areas of the park. Aside from walking or biking the trails, there’s
also the option of horseback riding on one of the multiuse trails.
LAKE CONROE KOA: MONTGOMERY, TX
Here’s a KOA that’s got your back this weekend if you’re trying to relax
to the max. Bring your RV here, up to 80’ and enjoy the cable tv, wifi,
hookups and pools to lounge in all day. If you haven’t got an RV, don’t
feel left out! You can stay in one of the 35 cabins that have bathrooms and
a full kitchen. Tent campers are welcome as well. Visitors can explore the
area and find the nearby golf course, restaurants and the lake has plenty
of recreational activities.
GALVESTON ISLAND STATE PARK: GALVESTON, TX
This park is a freaking island, so as far as camping goes you really can’t
go wrong with this option. There is hiking, biking, fishing, bird watching
and lots more. One of the many things that make this island campground
unique is the paddle trails they boast. Though, if you decide to go on these,
you’ll need to bring your own canoe or kayak because they don’t rent them
out. Outside the campground, there is an educational theme park called
Moody Gardens. Bring the kids along and there’ll be plenty of nature for
people of various interests to enjoy and participate in during the stay.
STEPHEN F. AUSTIN STATE PARK: SAN FELIPE, TX
This lovely State Park has six miles of hiking trails that are open to bikers
as well. Campsites have full hookups and some sites even hold up to 60
people. Stephen F. Austin State Park also holds events for youth over the

HUNTSVILLE STATE PARK: HUNTSVILLE, TX
Here’s a State Park full of relaxation. You can go and unwind in the shade
of the trees and go fishing from one of the fishing piers or off your boat
or canoe. There are watercraft for rent including paddleboats, canoes and
kayaks. There’s even a bird blind to enjoy watching the local feathered
friends who flit about the forest.
Have you scheduled
your appointment with us?
SEA RIM STATE PARK: SABINE PASS, TX
This park has 4,000 acres of marsh and a boardwalk going through so you
can enjoy without getting your feet wet. Campers, cabin-dwellers and
RV-goers all have a place here at Sea Rim State Park. Feel free to fish from
the boardwalk or explore with your rented or own canoe or kayak. Sea
Rim also has the option to explore its grounds from home via their virtual
tour of the trails map.
NORTHLAKE RV RESORT: HOUSTON, TX
Come to Northlake RV Resort if you’re looking for a nice and relaxing place
to kick your feet up and breathe deeply. This resort has got a massive list of
amenities so it’s ridiculous to try to write them all here, but if you’re interested
you should definitely check out their website. Some of the best aspects of
this resort are the park-wide wifi, the stocked fishing lakes and the fire pits.
This place allows for extended stays and weekend trips, so regardless of your
plans you’ll definitely have plenty of options right next to home!
TRADERS VILLAGE RV RESORT:
Traders Village is a short drive for you and a wonderful place to stay. The
electric and water hookups are free, there is a pool for swimming, and
there’s wifi. Bring your picnic supplies so you can eat outside at the picnic
tables while enjoying the weather. You’re welcome to lounge around
and enjoy relaxing or you can go next door to the flea market that hosts
events and activities for visitors.

ESCAPE THE PAVEMENT: HOUSTON, TX
There are actually two camping sites associated with Escape the Pavement
near Houston. There are four aspects to Escape the Pavement: Heyne
Ranch, Lake Houston Wilderness Park, Blackwood Land Institute and Big
Thicket National Preserve. It’s actually super great, because no matter
your flavor preference of outdoors experience, this place has got you. One
is a ranch for you and your horse to enjoy pastures, rivers and wooded
trails; perfect for a day trip. You’ll also love the bonfires on the beach! One
of their campgrounds has over 4,000 acres of forest and a creek that you
can go ahead and explore the trails winding around through it on your
horse, bike or on foot. The other area available for camping is restricted to
primitive camping only because it is located on a preserve. Lastly, the land
institute is a great educational place for kids and adults alike. Check out
their website if any of these interest you and start planning a trip!
LAKE SOMERVILLE: SOMERVILLE, TX
The campground and park are also full of opportunities for fun in the sun.
Water activities like swimming, skiing, fishing, and the likes are all great
ideas on Lake Somerville. There are picnic areas for campers or day hikers
to sit, enjoy the view, and munch on their sandwiches. Birdwatching,
volleyball, hiking and horseback riding are popular pass times. Overall,
this is a wonderful place to relax and play in the great outdoors.

SHELDON LAKE STATE PARK: HOUSTON, TX
Sheldon Lake State Park is open to fishing and wildlife observation. You’re
welcome to take your boat out for a ride or fish off the banks, so long as
you’re wary of the alligators inhabiting the park. The learning center has
tons of activities for the kids that you can sign up for and enjoy. Some
of these activities are more hands-on, like catch and release fishing
and some are visual demonstrations like green building technologies
or smart wildscape demonstrations for gardening and using beautiful
native plants.
BASTROP STATE PARK: BASTROP, TX
A forest with a history and personality, the Lost Pines located on Bastrop
State Park used to be a luscious and well-groomed forest before being
damaged by floods and fires. Now, the forest’s recovery is just as beautiful
a sight. The story itself is a perfect reason to visit, but Bastrop also has
swimming, biking, hiking and geocaching as an incentive. If you’re
looking to exploring the surrounding area, Bastrop also has museums
and restaurants to check out on your vacation!
BUESCHER STATE PARK: SMITHVILLE, TX
Experienced bicyclists looking for a challenge will enjoy the bike trails
here at Buescher State Park. This park connects with Bastrop State Park via
a paved road with great views of the area. Unfortunately, there is currently
no swimming in this park, but if you adventure the short commute to the
nearby Bastrop you’ll find a nice swimming pool for visitors like yourself.
Lastly, if you’re hankering to float along in a tandem kayak or a canoe, you
can do so through rental at Buescher State Park.
LOCKHART STATE PARK: SMITHVILLE, TX
This park has a pool, grounds for camping, trails to hike and a nine-hole
golf course among many other things that allow you to get active! If you
want to go fishing but don’t want to lug around your equipment, you’re
in luck! The park has fishing equipment available for guests to use during
their stay. If you’re looking to have a gathering of people for a family or
church event, there is a Group Recreation Hall that also has a kitchen
capable of holding up to 75 people at once.
LAKE LIVINGSTON: LIVINGSTON, TX
If you’re looking for a beautiful place to host a family reunion, try looking
here! Campsites have full hookups and there are rentable screen shelters

visitors can enjoy camping, hiking, birding, swimming, and biking. On
your way in and out you can stop at the souvenir shop that sells treats
and equipment!
LAKE LIVINGSTON KOA: ONALASKA, KOA
Here’s a popular KOA that you’ll probably need to make a reservation for
ahead of time to ensure you get yourself a spot for the night. There is
a beautiful pool with lounge chairs for you to relax and sink into while
soaking in the sun. Your kids will enjoy the playground. If you love
enjoying the great outdoors and its many inhabitants, there is a local bald
eagle named Eddie who supposedly flies around the area frequently.
There is also fishing, a pavilion to admire the scenery in, and is known for
the sunset views.
VILLAGE CREEK STATE PARK: LUMBERTON, TX
Campers interested in sleeping in tents, RVs or cabins are welcome here.
You’ll be able to go swimming, fishing, biking, hiking and more with your
friends and family. If you prefer to learn about your surroundings and its
history rather than being emerged in the real deal, there are programs
and museums aplenty for you to observe and glean information from
during your stay.
PALMETTO STATE PARK: GONZALES, TX
This little oasis has a multitude of thirsty plants that cannot live in other
areas due to the lack of water. The park is named for the dwarf palmettos
that grow beneath the trees. As a visitor, you can also enjoy the copious
amounts of flowing and stagnant water by swimming, tubing, fishing

WALKS/RUNS
ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION INVITES KATY/WEST HOUSTON
RESIDENTS TO JOIN 2020 WALK TO END ALZHEIMER’S®​
Participants will Raise Critically Needed Awareness and Funds for
Alzheimer’s Care, Support and Research. ​The Alzheimer’s Association®​
is inviting​Katy, Fulshear, Cypress, Richmond and other West Houston
area ​residents to join the fight to end Alzheimer’s by participating in the
Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s.​ ​The Walk will take place
on Saturday, September 26, 2020,​​at​ ​La Centerra Shopping Center in Katy,
Texas. On walk day, participants will honor those affected by Alzheimer’s
disease with Promise Flowers during the poignant Promise Garden
Ceremony - a moving display of hope to represent the personal reasons
participants join together to fight Alzheimer’s. This year’s challenge is
whether we will be able to come together of 1,300 walkers or not. So
we have two plans - Plan A is to have the big event. Plan B is to have
a virtual event that may be held in various neighborhoods, businesses,
schools and other smaller communities where people can come together
and Walk to End Alzheimer’s. In addition to the 3-mile walk, participants
will enjoy a fun-filled experience that includes valuable information,
celebrations, entertainment, corporate sponsors and so much more.
Participants can join a team or register to walk as an individual at ​www.
alz.org/walk​. Even though the office has been closed, the Alzheimer’s
Association has continued to offer support through various avenues than
before the stay-at-home order. The 24/7 Free Hotline can be a lifeline for
those who suffer from the disease and those who care for them, call
800-272-3900. Support Groups are meeting virtually, please check www.
alz.org for times and locations. Facebook Live sessions are held every
Wednesday at 11 AM. Find the live sessions and lots of other programs
and events on the Facebook page, “Alzheimer’s Association: Houston &
Southeast Texas Chapter.” Virtual classes are offered to cover many issues
each week. To join one of the virtual programs, please visit www.alz.org/
crf​or call 800-272-3900.

Garden Tips For August
• Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.
• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood.
Light green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron
cheleates.
• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around
the roots.
• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth.
• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.
• Chinch bug damage is obvious now. You will have areas of thin and/
or dead turf where they weren’t brought under control. There is a new
generation going now. This batch causes the most damage. Use Dursban
to stop the damage.
• Until the weather gets back to the 80’s, St. Augustine grass grows slowly.
If you fill in with sod, don’t expect a fast turnaround. The sod may look
like it’s not growing while it puts down roots. You will need to water the
new sod often and deeply to get it started but this also creates a disease
environment. Water early so the sun can dry the turf.
• Now is a good time to work new beds. Till them up, add organic material,
mix it in, then let them cure for a month or so. Add in any amendments
like micro-nutrients. Keep the beds moist so the microorganisms have a
favorable environment.
