Renaming East Metropolitan Park for Commissioner Ron Davis
Travis County
Summary
The park many east Austin families use — with its only public pool in the area — now carries the name of the late commissioner who fought to create it. The Historical Commission also wants Sandy Hayden, the formerly enslaved blacksmith who originally owned the land, honored there too.
