During his speech, Governor Abbott reflected on his childhood experiences as a Boy Scout in East Texas. He shared how exploring the beauty of Texas and learning to care for and respect the outdoors had a profound impact on him. He also thanked Texas voters and the legislature for creating the $1 billion Centennial Parks Fund, which will allow every Texan family to have similar experiences and connect with their state's heritage.

The Centennial Parks Fund was established through a constitutional amendment in 2023 after voter approval of Proposition 14. The fund received $1 billion from the legislature to be used towards creating and improving state parks. Post Oak Ridge State Park is one of three properties acquired through this fund.
