Plano's Lt. Russell A. Steindam Park is open to the public after months of renovations, a Nov. 24 city press release shared.
Renovations include drainage improvements, a new trail connection, tree removal and replacement, and a new irrigation system for certain areas of the park.
In addition to these renovations, an informational plaque was placed at the park to inform visitors about the Plano native and Congressional Medal of Honor recipient the park is named after. Steindam is Plano's only Medal of Honor recipient and died at 24 years old when he fell on a grenade to save his fellow soldier's life on the battlefield in Vietnam, the release said.
