The Texarkana Parks and Recreation Department invites the community out for a ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow at 11:30 AM at Spring Lake Park.

Spring Lake Park will be officially celebrating the Spring Lake Park Walk Through History Trail and new bridges. The ceremony will be held at the South end of the Park, off of Lynn Street, 4303 N. Park Road. Texarkana families have been coming to this park for decades for walking, biking, baseball, fishing, playing, or just to have a family picnic. These new additions and upgrades will continue to make the park one of the best in the area where families can come and enjoy it for a lifetime.

LOOK: Stunning vintage photos capture the beauty of America's national parks

Today these parks are located throughout the country in 25 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The land encompassing them was either purchased or donated, though much of it had been inhabited by native people for thousands of years before the founding of the United States. These areas are protected and revered as educational resources about the natural world, and as spaces for exploration.
