What residents need to know
The $3.4 million Super Dave's All Abilities Park, located at 4200 Katy Fulshear Road, will provide accessibility for all children, including those with disabilities, said Darren McCarthy, parks and recreation director for Fort Bend County, in an email.
The 1.6-acre park, which is the second all-abilities park spearheaded by the county, will be funded through county parks bonds.
Fulshear City Council approved an interlocal agreement March 18 allowing the county right-of-way access to complete the park.
The details
The park is named in honor of resident David “Dave” D’Andrea, who was a founding member of Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 169 in Cross Creek Ranch, Community Impact reported.
Fulshear Mayor Don McCoy said the park will feature:
- Three play zones tailored to different age groups
- A splash pad
- A pavilion
- Fully accessible pathways
“It’s a place where every child can play, connect and have that sense of belonging,” McCoy said. “I think that’s very important.”
Zooming out
In May, county officials broke ground on the $1.27 million space-themed Galaxy All Abilities Park in Sugar Land, located adjacent to the county’s new Sugar Land Annex, Community Impact reported. The park is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
“Both Super Dave's Park in Fulshear and Galaxy All Abilities Park in Sugar Land share a core mission of inclusivity and feature accessible playgrounds, shade structures and engaging themes,” McCarthy said. “Their differences highlight the county’s effort to provide varied, stimulating experiences for residents across the region.”
What’s next?
With the groundbreaking complete, officials are now working on getting supplies to the park to begin construction, which is expected to be complete by the third quarter of 2026, McCarthy said.
