SP Improvements: Polishing Park Jewels
Friday, August 20th, 2010This is Passport to Texas
Thanks to increased legislative appropriations for parks over the last two biennia, many state park sites will finally get the attention they deserve. Our state park guide, Bryan Frazier, is here to tell us more.
We’ve got Improvements and renovations at Goose Island SP, that’s a very popular park. Along the coast there, on the beach, those old picnic structures are really in need of repair and those are being repaired and fixed up.
Cleburne SP is getting new facilities and new structures and renovations and improvements. Lake Whitney SP is getting a full hook-up camping loop. Palmetto SP is getting some new trails, and it will be some of our nicer trails and boardwalks that we have in the SP system.
Dangerfield SP is actually going to close for a little awhile, because it’s going to get almost a total face lift to its facilities, its campgrounds and things. And so I think people are really going to see some of their favorite parks and facilities and some of the jewels that we have be that much better—and their camping and hiking and fishing experiences will be that much more enjoyable.
Share your experiences at these parks with others when you log onto the Texas Parks and Wildlife Facebook fan page, at Facebook.com/texasparksandwildlife.
