Construction Timeline and Status

TDLR completed plan review in February 2026, and construction was scheduled to begin in the same month. The filing indicates a scheduled completion date of August 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The scheduled build window of 160 days is longer than the county median of 92 days for similar projects. The project's cost is above the county median for its type, placing it in the top quarter of registered filings in the region.

Searchers interested in this project should note that the public record reflects a renovation scope that includes both park amenities and structural additions. The presence of a splash pad and mini golf course indicates a focus on recreational facilities for the community. The project is registered with TDLR, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards for the new restroom building and other public structures. The lack of a final inspection record means the project's operational status remains unverified in the official database.
