Thanks to funding from Phillips 66 through its longtime partnership with TPWF, visitors to Lake Corpus Christi State Park - Texas Parks and Wildlife now enjoy improved access to some of its most popular areas, including the birding and educational zone and the historic Civilian Conservation Corps Refectory “The Castle,” which was built in the 1930s. Phillips 66 funded the resurfacing, installation of new signs, and the extension of a popular interpretive trail, which now leads all the way to this key area of the park. Previously, the trail ended in a rough, grassy patch, with no clear path forward, offering limited access for visitors. “Whether you were using a mobility aid, a mother pushing a stroller, or a park ranger pulling a wagon full of supplies, getting to this spot used to be a real challenge,” said Lake Corpus Christi SP Superintendent Kelly Malkowski. “With the creation of this unified trail surface, access has been dramatically improved for nearly everyone.” Learn more about these exciting new improvements: https://www.tpwf.org/lake-corpus-christi-state-park-celebrates-trail-upgrade/ (fb)

The work at TWPF conserves and enhances our state’s lands, waters, and wildlife now and into the future, for all Texans. And thanks to generous donations during the Texas State Parks Centennial Campaign, visitors at Balmorhea State Park - Texas Parks and Wildlife will one day enjoy beautiful shade trees along the edges of the pools and canals.
