The City of Galveston owns 685 acres of land at the east end of the Island at Boddeker Drive and Apffel Park. The vision of the East End Lagoon Advisory Task Force is to transform this resource into a world-class, sustainable, natural recreational park and nature preserve with trails and an interpretive center. GINTC assisted in raising the money necessary to develop the master plan and serves on the planning committee.
