Dana Peak Park in Central Texas is a beloved natural community space.  Local hikers, mountain bikers, and nature enthusiasts have access to its trails for free and just a nominal Corps of Engineer entrance fee cost for boaters and beach users. This precious expanse, free from the burden of government fees and regulation, is one of the last bastions of free and open natural spaces in our region.

The city of Harker Heights is now poised to take control of this park for commercialization, threatening to strip away its natural beauty and accessibility. The commercialization initiative could lead to the imposition of new regulations and fees that would fundamentally change the character of the park, making it less welcoming to both locals and visitors who cherish its unspoiled environment.

Preserving Dana Peak Park in its natural state is not just about keeping a piece of land undeveloped; it’s about honoring a community’s shared history and a landscape that provides solace and recreation to many. It is imperative that we stand united to ensure that the park remains in its current state - free and open for all to enjoy.

Join this initiative to protect Dana Peak Park and safeguard it from a city take-over. Stand with your fellow community members to preserve this haven for future generations to enjoy. Let us keep Dana Peak Park natural, free, and open by resisting city commercial development.

Please sign this petition to urge the city of Harker Heights to stop the take-over and commercialization of Dana Peak Park.
