If you are planning an outing in one of Williamson County’s parks or preserves, get your camera ready! Local residents are invited to submit photo imagery of their favorite scenic or action shots taken in any Williamson County park or recreation facility. This project was started in July for National Parks and Recreation Month, but is being extended to give more people the opportunity to participate.
To go global with your photos, post the images on favorite social media sites with "July is Park and Recreation Month!" in the header. Then add the images to the local link: http://www.flickr.com/groups/wilco_parks/, to help create a photo gallery of regional recreational impressions.
“The combination of the abundance of natural park settings and the photographic talents of our residents can provide some great visual impressions of our community,” offers Jim Rodgers, senior director for Williamson County Parks and Recreation.
You don’t need to travel far to discover some of the most spectacular scenery and recreational amenities in Central Texas. Williamson County is home to nationally designated recreation trails and unique themed playgrounds, sparkling streambeds and wondrous wildlife – as well as fishing docks, bike paths, camp sites and competition-level sports fields.
