The Cassels-Boykin County Park Expansion and Dr. Bill and Emily Shelton Pavilion dedication took place on Friday, July 9^th. Angelina County officials have been working with The Chamber’s Lake Enhancement Task Force since 1997 on developing a comprehensive plan to upgrade and expand Cassels-Boykin Park.

The next phase of the upgrade will include the only handicap accessible pier on Lake Sam Rayburn. In attendance was State Representative Jim McReynolds, Carter Smith, Executive Director of Texas Parks and Wildlife, County Judge Wes Suiter, Lake Enhancement Task Force Chairman James Slack, with representatives from the Lower Neches Valley Authority, Army Corps of Engineers, The Lufkin/Angelina County Chamber of Commerce, and others.
