Cordoba Drive Pocket Park

The Cordoba Drive Pocket Park is a new construction project located at 10750 Cordoba Dr in the Pine Valley Meadows neighborhood of Houston, Harris County. The site covers 65,600 square feet and is registered with TDLR under the TABS program. TDLR completed plan review in February 2026, and construction is scheduled to finish in February 2027, with work starting August 2026.

Project Scope and Design

Mount Houston Road MUD is the owner of record for this $550,000 project. Buckson Landscape Architecture serves as the design firm of record, and Kathy S Rodriguez is the registered accessibility specialist. The scope of work includes the construction of a parking lot, playground, walking trails, fitness stations, soccer field, planting, benches, and tables. This development transforms the site into a community pocket park with specific recreational and green space amenities.

The estimated cost of $550,000 places the project below the Harris County median estimated cost of $750,000 for new construction filings. The cost per square foot is $8, which is below the county median of $88 per square foot. The scheduled build window is 211 days, which is close to the county median of 219 days for similar projects. This efficiency in cost and timeline is notable within the broader context of Harris County construction activity.
