DRIPPING SPRINGS RECEIVES HALF-MILLION GRANT FOR HARRISON RANCH PARK

Yesterday, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved $500,000 in matching funds for the City of Dripping Springs to acquire 48.165 acres by acquisition/donation and develop Harrison Ranch Park (one of our 8 favorite Dripping things in 2008). The grant will help fund tent camping, trails, a disc golf course, picnic tables, horseshoes and washer courts, playground, open play area, pavilion, eight acres of dedicated natural open space, and signs.

Dripping Springs was among 37 eligible applications submitted for recreation grant matching funds, and one of only 9 selected by commissioners for funding.

Thanks to Sandra Steele for making sure we saw the news!
