“Texas State Parks: The First 100 Years” is a granular look at how the park system came to be.
that state parks are near and dear to the hearts of many Texans. From Big Bend Ranch in far West Texas to Galveston Island on the Gulf Coast, the parks offer an opportunity for everyone to get out and see the varied natural beauty of the state.Bristol joined the Standard with more about the project and what could be in store for the parks’ next hundred years.Well, since I was a small boy, I’ve always been interested in parks. And we had Bastrop State Park and other parks around us.
Pat Neff, the governor in 1921, pushed the parks … John Connally, when he was governor, really pushed parks and funding for parks and even got a $75 million – which doesn’t sound like much – bond package put together to buy parks, and they bought some 63 parks with that money. There is some dispute, but I don’t dispute it because it’s written: the San Jacinto Monument was the first state park under the law.
Well, if you ask me, I always say it’s the park I’m at. But I have to put Bastrop State Park and Enchanted Rock because we have to go out and see that – my brother, my mother. My father died when I was very young, but she tried to get us to the parks. And we were just enthralled with Enchanted Rock, and we’d love to go to Bastrop because it was an easy drive over and we could have a Sunday picnic.
