Alabonson Park, located at 9650 N. Houston Rosslyn, is a 50.21-acre undeveloped park owned by the City of Houston. The Houston Parks and Recreation Department (HPARD) acquired the land in 2003 as a transfer of surplus property from the Public Works and Engineering Department. The City had not identified funding to develop the park when Harris County Precinct 4 approached the City with a proposal to fund park development and a commitment to the ongoing maintenance and operation of the developed park. HPARD is pleased to partner with the County to provide new recreational amenities in the area and will provide non-financial support where possible.
The proposed interlocal agreement authorizes the County to enter upon the Park and to use the Park to establish, provide, maintain, construct, and operate the Park and recreational facilities in the Park. The proposed agreement is for a term of 30 years. The City will retain ownership.
Proposed development includes softball, football and soccer fields, a playground, and nature trail with interpretive signage in the wooded area of the property.
Commissioners Court approved the interlocal agreement on August 23, 2016.
