The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved more than $21.2 million in local park grants, marking a record for the program designed to create and enhance outdoor recreational opportunities across the state. The competitive grants are allocated to local government entities on a 50-50 reimbursement match basis, requiring communities to contribute equal funding. Once projects receive funding, the sites must remain parkland in perpetuity, be properly maintained and stay open to the public.
