Fairfield Lake State Park will reopen to the public ahead of the sale of its land to a developer being finalized.
“Since closing the park in February, we have heard an outpouring from Texans who would love to visit their park,” TPWD State Parks Director Rodney Franklin said in a statement. “While we still stand committed to reaching a compromise that would save Fairfield Lake State Park for future use, our team will be working hard to keep this gem as accessible as possible for as long as possible.”
Fairfield Lake State Park is about an hour-and-a-half drive south of Dallas and was named the 2022 “State Park of the Year.” Last month, TPWD was given 120 days’ notice to vacate the property before it is turned over to the buyer. The property is owned by Vistra Energy, which leased the land to the state at no cost leading up to selling the property to Dallas developer Shawn Todd.. Lana Ferguson joined The Dallas Morning News after reporting in South Carolina's Lowcountry for The Island Packet & Beaufort Gazette newspapers.
