One of Texas' most popular state parks is temporarily reopening after its nearly 50-year land lease was terminated earlier this year. Texas Parks and Wildlife announced that Fairfield Lake State Park, located along Interstate 45 between Houston and Dallas, will reopen for day use beginning March 14. State officials are attempting to preserve the park after it closed on Feb. 27 to make way for a new real estate and golf course development by Todd Interests. Last week, state officials met during a meeting of the House Committee on Culture, Recreation & Tourism to consider reopening the park because of its popularity and economic benefit.
