About Big Spring State Park
381.99 acres make up the grounds, land the city of Big Spring deeded to the state in 1934 and 1935 so the park could open in 1936. It takes its name from a natural spring that once existed on the site, which has since been replaced by an artificial one. The park sits on the land itself rather than around a built landmark, with the spring's history tied directly to the ground it occupies.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
