AUSTIN, Texas — People visiting any Texas state park will be able to get in for free Sunday, Nov. 3.
The free admission is in honor of Texas State Parks Day, which is a tradition born from 2023’s centennial celebration, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
“Any day in a Texas State Park is a good day,” said Rodney Franklin, director of Texas State Parks. “I hope this continued event from our centennial celebration motivates all Texans to explore what the outdoors has to offer. You are invited to visit a park that is new to you, take a friend and try a new adventure.”
Across Texas, there are over 80 parks offering a wide variety of outdoor day-use activities like wildlife watching, walking or hiking, park programs, camping, biking, swimming, paddle boarding and many more.
Ahead of Veterans Day on Nov. 11, new parkland passports are available to veterans at no cost to grant free entry to all Texas State Parks.
“Texas Parks and Wildlife and state parks join everyone in expressing our appreciation to veterans and the service men and women of our military,” Franklin said. “Thousands have taken advantage our new veterans/military passes to enjoy state parks in Texas. Thank you for your service and enjoy some fall weather in a Texas State Park!”
