North Texas is getting its first new state park in 25 years

STRAWN — Just hours after an early-morning downpour, the two-lane farm road is caked with fresh mud.

Officials with Texas Parks and Wildlife on Tuesday provided a peek at the nearly 5,000-acre park, which is expected to open in the second half of 2023, in time for the centennial of the state park system. Tucker Lake, the park’s centerpiece, will accommodate fishing, swimming and boating, although motorboats will not be allowed.

In 2021, Texas state parks recorded a record 9.94 million visitors. On average, parks are seeing a 2% to 5% jump in visitors each year. Next year, Kurtenbach said, the number of visitors is expected to top 10 million for the first time.Construction continues on the visitor center at Palo Pinto Mountains State Park on Tuesday.

Texas Parks State Director Rodney Franklin said the agency is working to increase the number of parks and park-goers.
