We can see ‘Doug Sahm Hill’ from here
The naming subcommittee for the new Town Lake Park next to Long Center, Thursday recommended that the park’s knoll be named Doug Sahm Hill. Suitably, the hill is the highest place in the park, and has a spiral pathway up to the top where a Texas map is located. There is also an opportunity to place a plaque at the promontory.
The recommendation goes to the Austin Parks & Recreation board next week and then to the City Council. As far as we know, this would mark the first time something in the city will be named after its most representative musician.
