TPWD: Concessions (194 words)
Concessions are a significant element in the Texas State Park System.
A concession may be as simple as vending machines or as complex as a resort development at Ray Roberts Lake or a golf course at Bastrop State Park.
The purpose of offering a concession program is to seek public/private partnerships and assistance, where appropriate, and to provide quality services, programs, and facilities that enhance the enjoyment and provide convenience and recreational experiences for state park visitors.
Questions and Answers about Concessions (947 words)
Concessions are private businesses operating under contract in state parks to provide products and services designed to enhance the park visitor’s experience but are not normally provided by State employees.
Concessions can be proposed by: 1) a park’s general plan process; 2) a district superintendent who sees a need for a concession; 3) a member of the public; 4) an entrepreneur or a corporation; 5) a legislative mandate; or 6) a local agency under an operating agreement with the Department.
Concession opportunities also are advertised in State and regional newspapers, in the State’s contracts registry, in minority and trade newspapers, and on the Department’s website (www.parks.ca.gov).
