Father Charles M. McNaboe Park

Recreational Facilities

This park offers plenty of space for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages. It's a popular spot for Laredo residents looking to exercise or simply enjoy some leisure time outside.

If you're into team sports, you can find soccer fields, volleyball nets, and basketball courts scattered throughout the grounds - excellent for friendly matches or more competitive play. There are also tennis courts and baseball fields if that's more your speed.

Trails and Walking Paths

One of the park's highlights is its network of well-kept walking trails. They offer a peaceful escape and some pretty impressive views of the Rio Grande river and the surrounding landscape.

The trails are mostly dirt and packed gravel, so they're generally smooth enough for a comfortable walk, jog, or bike ride, but you might encounter the occasional uneven patch. Some paths meander through wooded areas along the riverbank - a real treat if you're a nature lover or just looking for a scenic run.

Family-Friendly Amenities

If you've got kids in tow, you'll appreciate the covered playground that's mainly designed for children 5 and up. It's thoughtfully designed to be inclusive, with some equipment that's accessible for children with disabilities.

Younger visitors can enjoy the park's swings, which include accessible options. The grounds are well-lit and regularly maintained, creating a safe space for family outings.

Picnic and Grilling Areas

Planning a family gathering? There are numerous picnic areas with tables and tents throughout the park. These spots are conveniently positioned near the playgrounds, so you can relax while keeping an eye on the little ones.

There are also BBQ pits and grilling stations within the park - ideal for cooking up a feast while still being part of the action. With plenty of space available, groups both large and small can find their perfect spot.

Pet-Friendly Areas

Dog parents will be happy to discover the designated dog park area where four-legged friends can run free off-leash in a secure environment. The dog park features two spacious areas separated by a fence and even has its own dedicated parking.

The park's open spaces and trails also welcome on-leash dog walking, making this a great destination for the whole family - furry members included.

Park Features

Tall, bright lights around the park enhance safety and let you extend your visit into the evening hours. The grounds are generally well-maintained with regularly mowed grass and clean facilities.

For your convenience, there are portable toilets available on-site, with additional restroom facilities located in the water park section.

Location and Views

The park's location offers nice views of the Rio Grande and natural surroundings. You can take in the riverside setting, and in some areas, access a small peninsula of rocks by the water.

While you might need to keep your GPS handy if it's your first visit, the spacious layout and scenic vistas make finding this tranquil space worthwhile.
