Parks in Kingsville

Flato Park

On January 3, 1924 the Kleberg Town and Improvement Company sold the city of Kingsville 2.75 acres of land on the corner of 11th and Johnston. The city used this land to build a neighborhood park known as Flato Park. This park has a kids playground with a swing set and slides. Along with a childrenÃs area, Flato Park provides picnic tables and barbecue grills, with mesquite trees shading the tables.

Flato Park was named after Charles Flato, Jr. Charles was the first developer in Kingsville. Mr. Flato helped found the Kingsville Lumber Company and the Kleberg Bank. Charles was also related to Robert Kleberg, of the famous King Ranch Family. The Flato family also has a town named after them, which is the Texas town of Flatonia.
