General Improvements and Repairs
Nineteen restrooms will be replaced throughout the state. (This will make many park visitors very happy!)
Water, wastewater, and electrical service renovations and replacements will be completed at 13 state parks. Although not usually visible to our park visitors, functioning and energy-efficient utility systems are important to the everyday workings of a state park as they provide reliable water and electricity to visitors.
All of these much-needed repairs will enhance our park visitors’ experience in one way or another. Find out if improvements are being made to your favorite parks at www.TexasStateParks.org/BrighterFuture
