Before Houston grew into the fourth-largest U.S. city, it was largely a collection of swamps, marshes, forests and prairies like those at Brazos Bend State Park.
The Lone Star State has more than 80 parks that offer a wide variety of outdoor day-use activities such as wildlife watching, walking or hiking, park programs, camping, biking swimming, paddleboarding, and many more.
“Texas Parks and Wildlife Department wants to continue to connect everyone to our beautiful parklands and we hope that Texas State Parks Day will give someone new the opportunity to discover what makes our state parks special,” said Rodney Franklin, State Parks Division Director. “This centennial has highlighted the work that past and current staff have accomplished in the last 100 years to make parks welcoming places for all visitors.
“Texas has always valued it’s veterans, which is why they now have the option for free access to state parks through the new Parklands Passports,” Franklin said.Parks will operate as they normally do and will control admissions by their established capacity limits. All other fees will still apply on that day.
