Historical Information
On November 12, 1974, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board voted to recommend to City Council that the name of Oak Springs Park be changed to Dr. Everett H. Givens Park. The City Council adopted the recommendation to rename the park in the memory of Dr. Givens, a well known East Austin dentist and civic leader. In September 1975, approval for construction of a large recreation center was given by the City Council. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board again voted unanimously to recommend to City Council that the new center be named the Dr. Everett H. Givens Recreation Center, and opened to the public on March 30, 1979.
