  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Sugar Land, 
Texas for earning the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) 2015 Parks 
and Natural Areas Award.
  The H-GAC Areas Award projects, like the one done by Sugar Land, help 
promote positive projects for the surrounding parks and natural areas. 
The City of Sugar Land won in the On-the-Ground Projects Under $500K 
competition. This project consists of a convenient, one-of-a-kind 
playground that can serve kids in different age groups and all 
capabilities. We are extremely proud of the city of Sugar Land and 
thank them for their commitment to improving the quality of life for 
its residents.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations to Sugar Land for receiving this award and helping to 
strengthen our community.
