It’s a captivating urban wilderness, adjacent to Sugar Land Regional Airport. Cullinan Park spans 754 acres of prairie and woodlands, with White Lake as a fitting centerpiece. The parkland was first settled in 1828 by one of Stephen F. Austin’s pioneering Texans.

White Lake at Cullinan Park's wildlife viewing tower is popular with kids and adults alike.

The Underbed music in the show was performed by Texas Hill Country musician and songwriter, John Arthur Martinez.
