Heads up! The amazing folks at Terlingua Recycles need volunteers for the next hauling day!

If you can help, it’s really beneficial for us to know who might be 

showing up (just in case we have to beg) - especially for the monthly runs into the Park. Please send Terlingua Recycles a FB message

The next trip into the park is this Thursday (June 7th). We meet at the Recycling Center (behind Terlingua EMS) at 8 a.m. to take the bins into the park, sort the items into the correct bins at the Park, and then head home. We’re usually back between noon and 1 p.m.

Balmorhea State Park Pool Update

Park staff have been advised that a preliminary time estimate for completion of repairs and re-opening of the pool is 2 to 3 months. Because there are five endangered species in San Solomon Springs, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is also in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to gain concurrence with the Department’s plan to protect those species during the upcoming pool repairs. We will continue to post updates on the our Facebook page as we receive new information.
