Lt. Russell A. Steindam Park is a neighborhood park with playground, shade pavilion, picnic tables, grills (1), drinking fountain, hike/bike trail, and open sports practice fields (first come, first served). This park, named in 1993, honors Lt. Russell A. Steindam, Plano's only Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. Lt. Steindam was killed in Vietnam in 1970 and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 1971 for actions during the Vietnam conflict when he fell on a grenade to save his fellow soldiers.
