State Parks Ornament Collection
History
Since 2002, Texas State Parks has produced a limited quantity of ornaments each year to celebrate the Texas State Park System. The ornaments tell the story of Texas' natural, cultural and historical resources. The images featured on each edition include buildings, wildlife, plants, and the many outdoor activities that you can enjoy at the nearly 90 state parks and historic sites across Texas.
Purchase this year's ornament online now. The current and available past ornaments will be on sale throughout the holiday season.
2002-2011 Ornament Collection
The first decade of state park ornaments included a collage of iconic images from across the state, captured in 24k gold plated ornaments.
The first ornament did not feature a date. Due to popular demand, subsequent ornaments were produced and dated each year.
To celebrate the 10th year of the ornament collection in 2011, TPWD issued a colorized version featuring elements from the previous 10 years. It was the first state park ornament to sell out. Eagle-eyed park enthusiasts will notice some ornaments feature sites that are no longer part of the state park system, such as Sebastopol House and Fulton Mansion.
2012 - 2018 Ornament Collection
In 2012, the state park ornament program began to feature specific parks with a more natural look. Lasers burned photograph-quality images into wood for these ornaments. The back of each ornament has a short message about the featured park.
Each year a trio of parks was featured: one historic site or facility, one park with a unique animal or geographic feature, and one park and its special activity. These ornaments were available in sets of three or individually.
Present Ornament Collection
In 2019, the state park ornament program was, once again, re-invented. The new style featured photo-quality artwork in stunning color with rich, laser-etched textures and detail in metal. This version introduced a new level of quality, ensuring that these pieces become part of your holiday tradition for years to come.
For 2025, the ornament was enhanced even more! The design is etched from solid brass and finished in 24k gold. It features three-dimensional elements that give the vibrant colors and images a special pop. Each ornament comes in a keepsake box that includes a short interpretive message.
Each year we feature a different park, spotlighting the different geographic regions of Texas and highlighting the landscapes, buildings, wildlife, plants and activities you can enjoy across the state.
