Texas CCC Parks

CCC Construction:
Entrance Portal, Concession Building (currently the recreation hall), Picnic Units, Beachside Roads, Bridges, Camp Shelters with Fireplaces, Tables and Benches, and Drainage Systems.

Using local materials, the CCC team, led by principal architects George T. Patrick and Thomas B. Thompson, constructed a concession building made of shell crete—blocks cast from oyster shell to form the walls and arches.

They also improved an existing road that became Park Road 13 and access roads on the 307-acre park, paving them with crushed oyster shells.
