I've been there, with permission from the owner's brother (who was caretaker). I don't know if they're still the current owners, and I don't know how to contact them anymore.

Okay, so maybe I'm slow...but the OP IS the owner...right.

Sorry if this has already been answered. I'm blind from trying to catch up.

Been there MANY times. Lived right beside the Krooked Kreek Fire Dept on Firehouse Lane. (I was also a firefighter & board member there) Near Hwy 7 & 206 Intersection. I own property there close to Dogpatch. Our Rural Fire Dept served Dogpatch & Marble Falls. I went into the park many times for Fire Inspections, Hydrant Inspections, & other reasons!
Absolutely love the park!

Property is close to 7 & 206 junction actually! Well, sometimes an excuse... There were times I actually did visibly see smoke or tresspassers in the years on Fire Dept there. Was always good to check it out...especially when you see people down there (tresspassers) & see something possibly burning! There was a rash of arson in the area for a while there. (Arson Investigation & Intervention is my thing)
But, by the way..... I NEVER did any graffiti or damage to the property. That has never been my thing!
I was shocked at the amount of graffiti & vandalism that had been done! Of all the places in the park I went (ALL OF IT) I did NOT see ANY glass that had not been broken!
Shame people have nothing better to do! IDIOTS!
I love that park & am wanting to see what has been done to it now (in person) I have to come down that way soon.... any chance of showing me some of the changes?
It would be GREATLY appreciated! :D
