Hot Springs National Park's boundaries are extended to include many specific plots of land and city blocks. These include private farmland outside town and various lots and streets inside Hot Springs. Once the Interior Secretary acquires this land, it becomes a permanent, protected part of the park.

This section extends the boundaries of Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, to include the following described lands, once the Secretary of the Interior acquires them on behalf of the United States: Rural land in several townships (township 2 south range 19 west; township 2 south range 20 west; township 3 south range 20 west; township 3 south range 19 west), including: the privately-owned part of the northeast quarter of section 33; the northwest quarter of section 34; all privately-owned land in the west half of section 27; several quarter-sections and part-sections in sections 27, 22, 15, 16, 21, 20, 28, 29, 30, and 31 (mostly the privately-owned portions); all of section 36; parts of section 35; parts of sections 1 and 2; and parts of section 6. City property in Hot Springs, including: blocks 27, 189, 195, and 196; lots 8 through 13 in block 125; lots 4, 5, and 7 through 14 in block 188; the part of Fountain Street next to lot 13 of block 125 and blocks 195–196; the stretch of Reserve Avenue between Palm Street and Cypress Street; and two unnamed 20-foot-wide streets running from Fountain Street to the government boundary, one between blocks 125 and 195, and the other between blocks 195 and 196. Any or all of this land, once the Secretary of the Interior acquires it for the United States, becomes — and stays — part of Hot Springs National Park, subject to all the laws and regulations that already apply there.
