City Council unanimously approved a $579,451 contract with HD Outdoor Construction, LLC for the construction of the splashpad at a Jan. 20 meeting. The Sugar Land 4B Corporation approved $500,000 in funding for the design and construction of the splashpad in August 2024, and the project was included in the fiscal year 2025 capital improvement plan, according to agenda documents.

The city decided to construct the splashpad following the popularity of one already located at River Park, per agenda documents.

The new splashpad will be located east of the Eagle Plaza Hill and north of the existing playground, according to agenda documents, with design criteria including:

• Accommodations for children of all ages and abilities
• Easy access to restrooms, trails and playgrounds
• Incorporation of shade
• Low-maintenance equipment

What’s next

The city will provide HD Outdoor a notice to proceed by the end of January 2026, with construction expected to take 270 days, per agenda documents.
