Texans, can you believe Spring Break is around the corner? We can t.
With it nearing, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is asking others to plan ahead and book their day passes and campsite reservations before Spring Break begins. According to a Friday news release, the department is already seeing the spots filling up for the spring and summer months.
Parks that are already seeing a high rate of both day use and overnight reservations include Garner, Inks Lake, Pedernales Falls, Guadalupe River, Mother Neff, and Enchanted Rock state parks. However, there is still some availability, the department noted.
The Great Lawn and The Promenade
A new park is slated for the Hemisfair grounds downtown which already offers public art, a giant playground, cafes and restaurants. The area was home to the 1968 World’s Fair. The land endured decades without a strategy on how to comprehensively reuse it after the gates to HemisFair ’68 closed. But that changed several years ago when a nonprofit took charge of the area.
Omar Gonzalez is Director of Real Estate for Hemisfair. He sees the district as divided into three parks. The first completed was Yanaguana Garden, essentially a 4-acre playground with life-size chess pieces, splash pads and exercise areas. The next is Civic Park.
