AUSTIN— A new project is underway at Mission Tejas State Park to replace damage caused by a fire during Hurricane Ike in 2008.

Improvements at the park that are currently ongoing include a new entrance, a headquarters building, a visitors center and restroom facilities. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.

The park is located in the community of Weches, 15 miles from Grapeland. For more information about the park, including park hours, equipment rentals and ranger programs, visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department website or contact the park at (936) 687-2394.
