LaBorde Lookout was built in City Park using riprap from the construction of Interstate 610, a project that began in the 1960s but wasn't completed until the mid-1970s due to lawsuits dealing with building the highway on public park land. It is named for longtime City Park general manager Ellis LaBorde and sits 53-feet tall.
