There were 604,019 votes cast in favor of the State Parks Amendment that would allow for upgrades and renovations to Alabama's 21 state parks.
That's almost 77% of the votes cast during Tuesday night's election.
Camper Brittany Hall is happy to know 85 million dollars in state bonds will go to help improve Alabama State Parks like Lake Lurleen State Park in Coker.
She said “I remember growing up here. I have scars from falling down on bicycles and stuff out here.”
It's some of her family’s home away from home.
Hall said “we come out here pretty often in the summer. My grandparents are camp hosts and so whenever we come out here we normally cookout or sit around the fire and just hang out. There’s lots of kids in our family so we’ll go to the playground or the beach and just spend time together.”
She hopes the money can be used to level out campsites and pave roads along with adding a few more activities to the park.
She said “I would love to be able to see this place into the future, continue to be the memories that I have from whenever I was a kid.”
She may be in luck.
Lake Lurleen Park leaders said they plan to give makeovers to campgrounds.
That includes upgrades to power and water hookups.
They said it’s possible beach areas will also be renovated.
An Alabama State Parks spokesman said now that the amendment passed, this authorizes the state to issue those bonds.
They said this can be a timely process.
In the meantime, leaders at Alabama's 21 State Parks will work on a priority list and determine costs for those projects.
