Thanks to everyone who voted for the Centennial Parks Conservation Fund for new Texas state parks.
We know you're excited to see your new parks, but building a park is like building a city, and it takes time. To give you the opportunity to meet your new parks as soon as possible, we'll open each of them in 3 phases.
Director of State Parks Rodney Franklin shares what to expect in each phase in our short video The Excitement Is Real! Find future updates at the Centennial Parks Conservation Fund information page.
