The Secretary of the Interior can trade land to improve Hot Springs National Park. The government may accept about 4.75 acres of private land in the city. In return, it can give up to 5.3 acres of park land near the Arlington Hotel. The land given away cannot be worth more than the land received.

This section lets the government swap land to make Hot Springs National Park easier to manage. The goal is to bring together the park's scattered federal land and improve how the park land is used. The Secretary of the Interior may accept about 4.75 acres of non-federal land, or rights in that land, located in blocks 195 and 196 of the city of Hot Springs, Arkansas. In exchange, the Secretary may give the person who donated that land some federally owned land or land rights instead. This land must sit next to, and just behind, the Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs. The government cannot give away more than about 5.3 acres this way. The land given away also cannot be worth more than the land the government receives.
