Texas House of Representatives commemorates the dedication of an Official Texas Historical Marker for Southside Place Park.

The bill commemorates the dedication of an Official Texas Historical Marker for Southside Place Park, also known as Fire Truck Park, in Houston. The park, originally part of the Harris County Poor Farm, was purchased by Edward Lillo Crain in 1924 and developed into a suburban neighborhood. It has served as a recreational space for over a century, featuring amenities like a swimming pool, tennis court, and play equipment. The park's first fire truck, retired in 1970, was repurposed into a play structure. In 2011, the park underwent a complete remodel, unveiling new facilities in 2012.
