Did you know?

Davis White Northeast Neighborhood Park was named after two amazing heroes from Austin. These heroes were Captain Willie Ray Davis, who broke racial barriers as the first African American in a leadership position in the Austin Fire Department (AFD), and Captain Louie White, who achieved the same milestone in the Austin Police Department (APD). Combined, they dedicated 60 years of civil service to the City of Austin!
