Governor Abbott highlights future Post Oak Ridge State Park with Lampasas visit
The park is being developed using Centennial Park Conservation Funds. It will cover 3,000-plus-acres along the Colorado River in Burnet and Lampasas counties.
"I want to thank the voters for passing the constitutional amendment that allowed not just the creation of this park, but allows us to be able to create parks like this for many years going forward. It’s important that every family in our state and every child in our state is going to have access to more parks like this. This is a great day for the future of Texas and for the future of Texas generations.”
- Gov. Greg Abbott
The Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPWD) Executive Director and Commission Chairman also joined the governor, along with Representative Armando Walle, local officials, and Texas sportsmen.
A public meeting to get input about the park is planned for Thursday, Jan. 15. It starts at 6 p.m. at the Lampasas County Annex.
