Hey gang! I've been a little quiet in the forums lately due to working behind-the-scenes on a major update to our
Texas Parks pages.
I've only scratched the surface (I have over 490 parks to update and that number's likely to grow), but here is a sneak preview of the type of information and resources
WildTexas.com will soon provide you on
every Texas park and recreation area:
EXAMPLE PARK: Abilene State Park
This is a park we previously just linked to TPWD's official park info page. Now, we have a page on WildTexas.com just for this park (and, soon, every single park in Texas!)
These new park pages will include information and photographs (as available), including new resources we previously were not able to provide due to time constraints, such as:
- Current Water Level for all Texas lakes/reservoirs
- U.S. Regional Maps of the Park Area from the U.S. Census Bureau
- Topographic Maps of the Park Area from TopoZone
- USGS Aerial Photographs of the Park Area from TerraServer (and, eventually, from our very own aerial photography archive -- an extension of our Moore Photography & Design (OutdoorPhoto.com)
- More accurate GPS coordinates for GPS users
- ... And much more, as time permits!
Review our brand new
Abilene State Park page for an example of what's to come for all Texas parks listed on
WildTexas.com!
And if you have photos you'd like to share of any parks, please consider sharing them in the "Your Photos" gallery. In the future, we'll be incorporating a feature on each park page to randomly display selected user-submitted photos of that park.
Any suggestions or things I'm missing? This is
your site, remember (we just pay the bills!)
