The scheduled build window spans 346 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for this type of work.

Sharareh Abdi is the registered accessibility specialist for this filing. The project was registered with TDLR in September 2024. The filing lists a construction start date of January 2025 and a target completion date of December 2025. Since that completion date has passed, the public record remains silent on the final status. No plan review or inspection has been recorded since registration, so whether the work proceeded as scheduled is not confirmed in the public record.

The site falls inside a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (zone AE). This designation is relevant for any future drainage or grading work in the area. The City of Houston has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $10,582,655, including Trinity Gardens Park and Marron Park Way phases. This Melrose Park project stands alone in its scope of splashpad and playground renovation within the provided data set.

Local community interest in the area is visible in third-party posts. A Facebook post by mommypoppinshouston described the Melrose Park Splash Pad as a splash and playground combo. This social media mention reflects user interest in the facility’s features, such as shallow water and slides, but does not confirm the construction status or completion date found in the TDLR filing.
