Happy Birthday Texas Parks 

TPWD Celebrates 100th Birthday

 

A hundred years ago in 1923 the first state park in Texas was created in Moody, Texas, with land donated by Governor Pat Neff. Mother Neff State Park covers three ecosystems and is home to native plants.

 

Let’s celebrate

Entry to a park is FREE on the day it hosts an official 100-Year celebration event (applies to day passes only). Visit TPWD site to learn more.
