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.

During 2007 Wolf Creek Park celebrated its 35th year of operation.  The park fully recovered from the damage incurred by Hurricane Rita and the low lake levels for most of 2006.

Increases in visitation and revenue occurred despite heavy rainfall and minor flooding throughout the area during the high usage months of June and July.

Wolf Creek Park, in collaboration with the Coldspring Chamber of Commerce, hosted the 2007 Rod Run (car show) that drew entries and visitors from all over the state.

During 2007 the park began efforts to provide electricity to 19 campsites that formerly afforded just water to campers.  With this upgrade scheduled for completion in early 2008, campers can choose from 63 campsites that offer water and electricity, in addition to 39 campsites with water, electricity and sanitary sewer.
