Livingston Recreation Facilities - Under the terms of the 1964 contract between TRA and Houston that produced Lake Livingston, the Authority was able to purchase 26 sites containing 2,463 acres of land adjacent to the lake for recreational development.

With the assistance of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, five of those sites have been developed as public boat ramps to provide free public access to the lake.

In 1971, TRA issued recreation revenue bonds for the purpose of funding construction of Wolf Creek Park, a full service recreation facility in San Jacinto County.

Since 1994 three bathroom/shower facilities have been removed and replaced at Wolf Creek Park. It was also necessary to replace 640 feet of aluminum sheet bulkhead. The damage occurred when a heavy rain saturated the soil behind the aluminum bulkhead at the same time the lake level was at its lowest. Without water pressure against the lake side of the bulkhead, the saturated soil caused the bulkhead to bulge fail.

TRA's gross investment in Livingston Recreation Facilities as of November 30, 1998, totaled $1,634,970. Revenue from combined entrance and user fees, licenses, permits and miscellaneous sources totaled $418,293 during FY 1998.
