    This place is nice, clean and quiet. The park is always empty and I use the large field on the west side to fly my drones. (I never fly when anybody else is around.) The field is probably a solid two acres. The park itself is somewhat small but has a tiny pond with a dock (although there was some trash and a cone floating in it..) Easy access from I-20. The walking trail is a bit close to the rode on the east side but its great for walking dogs in the morning.

    Props to the maintenance team, always clean. The only downside is it's small but you get access to a field in the back which is great for kites. The pond has a massive common snapper and my brother caught a huge LMB. Small trail but great for the elderly.

    We like the walking trail and the pond. We just wish that the playground equipment was better designed. I guess it's supposed to look cool but it's impossible to actually climb around on it. Whoever designed it was trying to go abstract with it and failed miserably. Luckily none of the other playgrounds I've seen in Arlington are like this. We always have to go somewhere else to practice parkour.

    Another awesome City of Arlington park!!! There is several picnic tables, a jungle jim set, an entire covered area with more tables, grills, towards the back of the path there is a small observation deck over the pond. There is also a poke stop x3 and a gym.

    Nice little park. We've taken our daughter here a few times and she likes the playground. There is a "traditional" playground for 2-5 year olds. As well as a "jungle gym" playground for older kids. Also some swings and a little trail and pond. Check it out if you live close by.

    Small park with play equipment for kids, grills, picenic tables, a pavilion, open field for frisbee or flag football, and walking trail. No restrooms and is close to the road, so traffic noise is a problem. It is a decent place to take a morning walk if you are in the area..

    Great playground, small walking trail around park, small pond with fountain and a good size field behind it that is usually kept up with.

    The new equipment installed this year 2023 is so much better than before. Small park but enough to let the littles run off some energy.

    This park always makes me nauseated or have a migraine because of all the exhaust from 20. Its redone now though and its really nice.
