Discover Arlington's Parks

Right in the middle of Arlington's Entertainment District, between Globe Life Park and AT&T Stadium, you'll find Richard Greene Linear Park – the perfect starting point for exploring everything the city has to offer outdoors.

River Legacy Parks is where serious runners and mountain bikers come to play, with 10 miles of trails winding through the landscape. Hit the exercise stations, explore nature trails ranging from paved paths to rugged terrain, or take on the Trinity River Paddling Trail. Kids love the nature playground, and there's plenty of pavilion space for hanging out.

If you're into geology, don't miss Crystal Canyon Natural Area in North Arlington. This spot showcases ancient marine shales, fossil beds, and layers of rock that tell millions of years of history – all surprisingly accessible in the middle of the city.

Traveling with your dog? The new seven-acre Rush Creek Dog Park off West Pioneer Parkway has everything: separate fenced areas for off-leash play, dog wash stations, water fountains, and shaded seating. Plus, 2.5 miles of trails nearby mean you can keep the adventure going.

Veterans Park draws disc golf players from across the country, but there's more to do than just golf. Fish in the pond, walk the 1.4-mile trail, or check out the wildscape garden full of native Texas plants. And if skateboarding is your thing, Vandergriff Park's skate park just north of I-20 offers transitional plaza terrain that works for beginners and pros alike.
