SP Improvements: Garner State Park
This is Passport to Texas
Garner State Park, which may be our most popular park, seems to have it all, including access to water, beautiful scenery, cabins and campsites, and even a nightly dance during the summer. And now it has one more thing—money for much-needed repairs. Our state park guide, Bryan Frazier, explains.
Garner State Park is one of those iconic natural resource wonders that we have in Texas. So many people have visited Garner State Park and love it and enjoy the Frio River, and the cabins.
But it’s been around since the 1930’s and so, we’re able to put a lot of money into Garner, and make some renovations and some improvements to the cabins and the roofs and things like that, so when people go there to stay it is the nostalgia, and it is all of what they’ve liked. And it’s got the dance and things like that, but it’s in a nicer facility…and its in structures that people will see those improvements and really appreciate it.
We’ve been able to spend a couple of million dollars toward those renovations. Toward those projects, and those are all due to voter approved, legislative approved increases in the previous two biennium. And I think people are going to see that in the next several months.
Go to the Texas Parks and Wildlife YouTube channel where you’ll find a video of Garner State Park…it’s like being there.
That’s our show…For Texas Parks and Wildlife…I’m Cecilia Nasti.
