HR 6852 United States House · 118th Congress

Holcombe Rucker Park National Commemorative Site Act

This bill designates Holcombe Rucker Park in Harlem, New York, as a National Commemorative Site to honor its historic role in basketball development and Holcombe Rucker's contributions. It authorizes the National Park Service to partner with New York City (via cooperative agreements) to install interpretive plaques or exhibits at the park, with the owner's consent. The designation does not make the park part of the National Park System, nor does it alter local land use, zoning, or property rights. It focuses solely on commemoration, with no new regulations or federal management of the park.
