BENBROOK, Texas -- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials at Benbrook Lake announce today changes to park operations beginning April 1.

Overnight camping will no longer be permitted in Mustang Park but will still be available nearby in the Holiday and Bear Creek campgrounds. Recreating activities like picnicking, fishing and swimming will be allowed during hours of park operation at Mustang Park.
