Independence Hills Park

A new dog park in North Central Park is named after one of the city's most famous canines. The green space at North Central is known as Duko Park. CBP deployed Duko as one of the first canines to assist in the identification of narcotics and people smuggling attempts.

It's named after K-9 Kimmie, a Laredo Police Department explosive detection K-9 who was found abandoned by an officer. Kimmie became a certified police dog after a year in 2005.

This is a well-kept park with a variety of facilities, including hike/jog routes through south Texas bush terrain with a rich flora and fauna. A lovely public pool with a racquetball court is located next to the park.

Laredo, like many other cities, is known for its lush parks. Benavides Park provides an opportunity for tourists to unwind and relax. In your spare time, come sunbathe, socialize with friends, meet new people, meditate, or take part in events.
