Scope and Scale
Talley Landscape Architects is the design firm of record for this development. The scope of work focuses on upgrading the 55-acre park to enhance recreational facilities and public access. The estimated cost of $50,000,000 places this project above the Harris County median for renovation filings, which stands at $250,000.

The project timeline spans from September 2026 to September 2028. This 760-day build window is significantly longer than the Harris County median of 92 days for renovation and alteration projects.

The Kinder Foundation has also supported the renovation, with a $10 million grant reported in local business journals.
The site is located in Harris County, Houston, Texas, with a ZIP code 77021 population estimate of approximately 24,884 residents. The area is characterized by a mix of residential and commercial properties, including nearby apartments and a tennis center.

Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2026.
