Labonte Park

Labonte Brothers Park! This is a sun bleached stretch of park just north of Corpus Christi where you can go and possibly fish under a bridge. The park is basically a turn around next to the Nueces River, that goes around I-37. The park has been messed up for a while as they go and replace the bridge that goes over the Nueces. They're making it a higher bridge, and have the whole place torn up. There's no trees or any shade. The park offers a bunch of picnic tables that overlook the river. If you're a fisher, it'd be a good place to grill up some river catfish.There are no restrooms here. No running water. Dogs are welcome here. You can probably run them off a leash, as I hardly ever see anyone here. Just make sure they don't jump in the river.

This place has been here for quite some time and it's named after the famous NASCAR Labonte Bros. The park is famous for Easter celebrations as masses gather and enjoy the evening. People camp out here and all.This is the area where the famous Nueces River ends and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. It runs alongside the back part of the park. Passing by here you can see the number of people walking around and enjoying the sounds of the river as it makes its way over the final embankment and into the bay.

ATTN!!! Low clearance bridge. We exited I-37 northbound to stop at park for lunch with our 5th wheel trailer. After exiting discovered 12'6" clearance to go under highway to get to park. Turned around to only discover that it is one way road into the park. Had to call for police escort back out. No proper signage.

Its a large & clean park. The shade is scarce to none. I don't mind the sun. Plenty of open space and parking. It's perfect for picnics and it's always been very quiet. Probably because there is no playground. Great place for fishing and kayaking.

Quaint little park that straddles the Nueces River but for reals, there is absolutely no shade so bring an umbrella and plenty of water to drink. It's a cool half-way point between SA and the Valley so we like to stop here and walk the dog, stretch, and stare at the water for a little while. The only restrooms they had are run-down and closed but it seems like a good spot to fish, or jet-ski.

There's nothing wrong with this place but one thing.......There's no bathroom....There's this big building that has a big whole in it that used to be a bathroom
