The objective of Level 2 is to give participants success with fundamental skills. Participants learn to float without support and to recover to a vertical position. This level marks the beginning of true locomotion skills. Participants continue to explore simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back to lay the foundation for future strokes.

ages 6 - 12 Level 5 - STROKE Refinement

Participants entering this course must have a Level 4 certificate or must be able to demonstrate all the course requirements in Level 4.

Flip turns on the front and back are also introduced.

Adopt - a - Spot Program

Last June, Keep Arlington Beautiful and the Arlington Parks and Recreation Department announced a volunteer campaign to clean up litter from public right-of-ways, such as parks, streets, and trails.

The Adopt-A-Spot program is up and running and off to a strong start. Organizations, businesses, teams and families have come together adopting spots in North Arlington, aiding in the continuing beautification of the American Dream City.

The Bishop Family is one of Arlington’s first Adopt-A-Spot participants.

“Our family has lived in North Arlington for over 15 years. We are excited to have the opportunity to do our part to make Arlington a wonderful place to live, work, and play for all,” Mike Bishop said.

So far, other adoptees include the Westra Consultants, UTArlington Alpha Phi Omega- Theta Tau, and Kleinfelder Inc. The Adopt-A-Spot program is perfect for organizations, businesses, churches, schools, neighborhood associations, troops and families looking to get involved and give back to the city in which they live. Adopt-A-Spot adoptees will receive a certificate of appreciation, website recognition, and may purchase a sign at a minimal fee to be installed at the location recognizing the adoption*.

Keep Arlington Beautiful received $2,000 in grant funding from H-E-B and the Central Market’s Green Bag Grants to aid in the litter cleanup effort. * Fee may apply

The Bishops have taken the lead on adopting the area along North Green Oaks Boulevard from Cooper Street to Collins Street, both east and west bound.

An on-line application form along with guidelines on how you can adopt a spot is available at the Keep Arlington Beautiful webpage at keeparlingtonbeautiful.com under the Adopt- A- Spot tab.

The Texas Rangers Baseball Club is one of the first business organizations to partner with Keep Arlington Beautiful’ s Adopt-ASpot program. The Rangers have committed to maintain the Lake Holtz Area near Globe life Park in Arlington.

To get started, find out which areas are available, or for additional information, send an email to kab@arlingtontx.gov or call 817-459-5477.

F E AT U R E A R L I N GTO N PA R K R E N OVAT I O N S S P OT L I G H T :

julIA bURGEN pARK cONSTRUCTION

Construction of the Phase I park improvements are expected to begin in April. The 66-acre linear park, which could open as soon as April 2017, will offer nearly a mile-long hike and bike trail, about two dozen parking spaces, park benches, a covered playground for ages 2-5 and 5-12, swings, a bike rack and a pavilion available for rent.

As part of the Johnson Creek Corridor Plan, Arlington plans to eventually create a series of linked linear parks that stretch from Gateway Park near the Parks at Arlington Mall up to the Richard Greene Linear Park near AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Park. The Julia Burgen Park will help eventually close the gap between Vandergriff Park and Meadowbrook Park.

The future park is located between Pecan Street and Collins Street, east of the University of Texas at Arlington. Center Street runs through the park, which is located south of downtown Arlington and also surrounded by several neighborhoods.

As part of its priority to Champion Great Neighborhoods, the Arlington City Council supports projects such as linear parks that are designed to improve the quality of life for residents.

Julia Burgen Park is a dream that has been years in the making. Empty streets and crumbling sidewalks are the only signs left that the future park site was once residential neighborhoods. In 1999, the City of Arlington used federal funding to purchase and tear down more than 100 flood-prone homes along Johnson Creek.

Contractor 2L Construction will soon remove those abandoned asphalt streets and sidewalks to make way for the $1.7 million in park improvements, which Arlington voters approved funding for in 2008.

“Julia Burgen dramatically increased the environmental awareness of the overall community and the political community – from protections we have now for trees to expanded landscaping requirements,” said Donna Darovich, Parks and Recreation Board Chair.

O.K. Carter, Arlington historian and former publisher of the original Arlington CitizenJournal, is one of many left impressed by Burgen’s passion for nature.”

“They are very important within an urban setting because they almost function as a city’s lungs. That’s how the city can breathe. With all that development happening all around, parks and open spaces are extremely essential,” Mandlekar said. “They help preserve natural habitat and are very important corridors for the wildlife, especially within an urban setting. Julia Burgen Park will also function as a significant linkage within the residential communities and UTA campus.”

“She outlined a couple of then-dramatic ideas that included landscaping requirements and signage limitations before launching into her favorite topic, mitigating tree loss and planting more of them. Lots more. Very soon she would run for the Arlington Council and become a champion for environmental enhancements.

I planted the dogwood in the newspaper courtyard. It’s now fully grown and offers a seasonal explosion of aroma and whiteblossomed beauty. Multiply that little tree by a few thousand and you get just a little sense of Burgen’s impact on this community,” Carter said.

The park is named for former Arlington City Council member Julia Burgen, well-known for her environmental activism.
