 There are over half a million acres of state parks and natural areas in Texas. Of course that's just a ballpark figure. You wouldn't be far off base to assume that each of Texas' minor league baseball stadiums is near a state park. And if you guessed that there's a state park within an hour's drive of each, then you'd be batting a thousand.
This summer, Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine is throwing a changeup: visit a state park during the day and follow it up with a night game at the ball park. It's the perfect day/night doubleheader!
