The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 2 awarded $735,000 to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) under the Sport Fish Restoration program (CFDA 15.605) on August 15, 2025, for infrastructure improvements at Press Morris Park in Coleman, Texas. The project encompasses the demolition and construction of two concrete boat ramps, parking lot rehabilitation with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility features, construction of an ADA-accessible restroom facility, and development of a courtesy dock and ramp. These improvements are designed to enhance public boating access to aquatic recreational resources and support sport fish restoration objectives in the region, with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027.

The Sport Fish Restoration program, financed through excise taxes on fishing equipment and related maritime products, supports state fish and wildlife agencies in restoring, conserving, and managing sport fish populations while providing public access to recreational fishing waters. This award reflects the program's focus on boating infrastructure development as a critical component of maintaining viable sport fishery resources and public recreational opportunities across the United States.
