FITNESS FITNESS PACKAGES

Arlington Parks & Recreation offers a variety of monthly membership packages that allow residents and visitors to enjoy programs and amenities at all recreation, athletics and senior centers across The American Dream City.

Monthly membership programs allow Arlington residents to participate in a wide range of Parks & Recreation’s programs at any center without paying additional fees as they would have under the previous membership program.

Monthly memberships can be purchased for individuals or for a family of up to five people. Individual membership rates are based on the age of the participant and are discounted for adult residents over the age of 60. Family memberships for anyone living under the same roof up to five people.

Additional family members would need to purchase individual membership packages based on age. Non-residents are also eligible to buy a Parks & Recreation monthly membership at a slightly higher cost than residents.

Patrons can choose among three levels of membership, based on their needs and interests. For example, someone looking to swim laps at The East’s 113,000-gallon indoor pool or to take advantage of the indoor track at The Beacon may find the basic Blue membership to be the best fit for their fitness needs. A Green membership opens up access to weight room and cardio equipment at all centers. And the Gold membership provides patrons with discounts on select programs as well as the highest level of access to amenities and programs at all centers, including in-person and virtual fitness classes, roller skating at Elzie Odom, and on-site childcare for up to four children during visits at no extra cost.

Ready to begin enjoying all the great amenities and programs that Arlington has to offer? Stop by any of the centers or the Parks & Recreation Administration Office, 717 W. Main St., to sign up today. You can also purchase a membership online; naturallyfun.org. For questions or help, please call the Admin Office at 817-459-5474 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Not ready to commit to a monthly membership? Arlington Parks & Recreation offers a day pass for $8, which provides an individual with Gold membership access to any center.

Patrons must be 15 years or older to purchase an individual membership or day pass.

Please note that water fitness classes for the indoor pool at The East are not included in any membership package. To purchase aquatics passes for water fitness classes, please call 817-275-1351.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS Arlington Parks and Recreation is committed to creating parks, facilities, and green spaces for you and your family to enjoy.

With park fees, bonds, and other sources of income, we’re able to renovate and create facilities to fit your needs.

Arlington residents unanimously approved a package of bond projects that focus on streets, parks, fire facilities and libraries in the 2018 Bond Election.

Take a minute to read about projects we’ve recently completed or that are already under way. *Please note that many of the elements shown for these projects are renderings and conceptual in nature.

ROTARY DREAM PARK PHASE II The City is designing a new .619 acre park located on E. Front Street between N. Center Street and N. Mesquite Street and Union Pacific Railroad. The new park will allow for an interactive experience and a gathering point for residents and visitors to downtown Arlington. The park’s location is ideal to connect the new developments on Front and Division streets to the increasing vibrant downtown core south of the railroad tracks.

The Rotary Club of Arlington commemorated its centennial by donating “Boundless,” a new interactive public art piece at the future Rotary Dream Park site as Phase 1 of the project.

The Rotary Club held a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the sculpture June 10. The sculpture celebrates the Rotary Club of Arlington’s 100 years of dedication, vision, and involvement with the community, including its pivotal role in the creation and evolution of the parks system in Arlington.

Phase II of the project includes design and construction of the remainder of the park site, and the re-location of the DREAM sculpture, currently located on property owned by the First Baptist Church east of Founders Plaza and the Levitt Pavilion.

The City will complete the design and construction for the installation of both pieces of work and maintain this park in the future.

Construction of Phase II is to begin January 2024 and scheduled to be completed in Fall 2024.

MEMORIALS COMPLETED AT VETERANS PARK Collaborating with the Walton Walker Chapter of the Korean War Veterans Association, the Arlington Veterans Park Foundation completed a Korean War Memorial and Korean Defense Veterans Memorial (KWKDVM) and a Memorial to the Fallen (MTTF) in Arlington Veterans Park. The KWKDVM consists of five black granite columns placed inside a circular pedestrian area enclosed by a seating wall. Four of the columns recognize the military service branches that served in the Korean conflict. The center column contains a map of the Korean Peninsula. In the center of the memorial, a bronze kneeling military figure faces the granite columns.

The Memorial to the Fallen is a five-sided granite monument, up-lit at night, set in the center of granite star paving. Each side of the monument honors those Arlington residents that have given the ultimate sacrifice in all the wars from World War I to the present.

Arlington Parks and Recreation will operate and maintain the memorials.

The memorials were completed and dedicated on November 11, 2023, as part of the annual Veterans Day Commemoration Ceremony.

ACTIV ADULT CENTER Arlington voters approved general obligation bonds in the amount of $45 million in a May 6, 2017 vote, to build an Active Adult Center (rebranded as ACTIV).

Senior programming for the Parks and Recreation department is currently served by the East Library and Recreation Center and Dottie Lynn Recreation Center.

Arlington Golf and the Texas Rangers have partnered to build the world’s only Major League Baseball-branded golf course — the Texas Rangers Golf Club — which opened in February 2019.

This collaborative branding partnership, along with $24 million in course renovations, affords the opportunity for Arlington to offer a destination golf course for both Arlington residents and visitors alike.

Welcome to Home Plate at Texas Rangers Golf Club. Founded in 2021, the full service restaurant and bar is open to the public daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Patrons will enjoy a made-from-scratch menu and 10 beers on tap, paired with spectacular golf course vistas.

Wall-to-wall TVs for your sports viewing pleasure, including 31 TVs within the restaurant and bar alone.

“As the world’s only MLB-themed golf course, this course is sure to be a ‘bucket list’ item for baseball fans across the globe, especially our Rangers fan right here in Arlington,” Mayor Jeff Williams said.

Expansive covered patio overlooking the golf course is the perfect spot for al fresco dining. Customers can also enjoy cocktails at one of the many outdoor patio seating areas on the events lawn overlooking the golf course.

The golf club is open to the public seven days a week. Texas Rangers Golf Club is the closest 18-hole golf course to Arlington’s Entertainment District, offering a chance to play golf in conjunction with a visit to a Dallas Cowboys or Texas Rangers Game, TexasLive!, or the numerous other events at AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Park, UTA or downtown Arlington.

A $24 million project, Texas Rangers Golf Club involved a total renovation and updated routing of the existing golf course with improved turf grasses and additional water features. A new 33,871-square-foot clubhouse, which opened in early 2020, features a full-service restaurant and bar, covered patio overlooking the golf course, pro shop, locker rooms, and numerous rental and event spaces.

The culinary department is led by Executive Chef Ben Johnson, whose background includes Ritz Carlton and Hyatt Hotels, along with Country Clubs for 7 years, including Las Colinas, Mansfield and the Oaks Club in Santa Clarita, California.

With over 2,700 square feet of event spaces, Texas Rangers Golf Club is the perfect location for your next special event. From corporate meetings, to birthday parties, school celebrations and wedding receptions, we can do it all! A Full-Service venue with on-site catering, bar services, state-of-the-art audio visual technology, and friendly staff. Let us create the perfect event for you!

Newly renovated, it’s hard to find a more beautiful course than the award-winning Tierra Verde Golf Club, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in late 2023. Tierra Verde is the first golf course in Texas, and the first municipal course in the world, to be certified as an Audubon Signature Sanctuary. Walk onto the first tee and enter an environment where golf and nature come together in harmony.

Opened in 1998 and carved from 250 acres of secluded terrain, the course’s unsurpassed layout encompasses a variety of natural settings and offers an outstanding playing experience on every hole.

The course has hosted many prestigious events, including the Byron Nelson Qualifying Tournament. Tierra Verde has consistently been named one of the top-10 public golf courses in the Metroplex by AvidGolfer magazine, earning cover honors in 2023.

Each hole has five sets of tees, sculpted fairways, strategically placed sand bunkers and water hazards - all accented by stately trees and beautiful native grasses. The facility features a indoor golf training bay, lighted driving range, three-hole practice course and large chipping and putting green complex.

Lessons and clinics are taught by PGA/LPGA professionals and apprentices, an outdoor pavilion and full-service restaurant, Ventana Grille, that complement every event from small corporate outings to large fundraising tournaments.

Trade the typical parking lot views of other restaurants for Ventana Grille and the sights and sounds of Tierra Verde Golf Club — the first Audubon Signature Sanctuary golf course in Texas — where golf, dining and nature come together.

Chefs James Martone and Ky Nguyen invite you to come enjoy their culinary creations!

Open to the public daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and offering a takeout menu, Ventana Grille’s affordable options makes it the perfect place for your next meal.

Ideally located less than three miles from I-20 off US 287, Ventana Grille is an excellent place to grab a bite to eat and enjoy a couple of drinks after your round of golf. It’s also a great quick casual lunch spot for you and your co-workers, and the ideal setting to celebrate your next special event.

The kitchen is open daily from 7:00 AM to 9 PM and features Avid Golfer’s ‘Best Breakfast Burrito’ and daily lunch specials under $15.

Catering, wedding receptions, private parties, to-go orders and special requests are welcome! Make your Easter and Mother’s Day plans and reservations with us to take the stress off by letting us handle the details for your upcoming event.

Lake Arlington Golf Course is a beautiful, 18-hole facility nestled on 185 acres on the north shore of Lake Arlington. The course was designed with all types of players in mind. With the newly renovated fairways and greens, the course provides a great golfing experience at an exceptional value.

Lake Arlington’s time-honored design blends open and tree-lined fairways, long challenging par 3’s and scenic greens to appeal to every level of player.

A challenge for the professional as well as the beginner, the four sets of tees, ranging from 5,485 yards to 6,637 yards, provides a fair playing field that appeals to every level.

The clubhouse features a well stocked pro shop and grill. Lake Arlington’s combination of enjoyable golf, convenient location and professional staff create the perfect setting for group outings and tournaments.

Arlington’s tradition of outstanding golf began in the 1920’s with Meadowbrook Park Golf Course. Conveniently located just east of downtown Arlington, the golf course provides an excellent choice for families and leagues.

The golf course is the centerpiece of Arlington’s first city park.

Arlington purchased the 52-acre site in 1923 and it was sponsored by the Arlington Rotary Club.

The site includes picnic grounds and the tree-filled, nine-hole golf course. Many of the holes feature vistas of nearby AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Meadowbrook Park is the perfect facility to learn golf and sharpen short-game skills. The 9-Hole, par-33 layout consists of six par 4s, 250 to 300 yards in length, and three par 3s, approximately 150 yards in length.

The course offers challenging golf along with a practice putting green and chipping area at an exceptional value.

The course can be easily walked or played under time constraints and has a long-standing commitment to beginning adult and junior golfers.

Golf legends Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson once led golf clinics here.

A Ralph Plummer design, the course was renovated in 1998 and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013.

Its small greens and narrow fairways are designed to challenge every level of player.

Avid Golfer voted Lake Arlington the most kid-friendly course in DFW in 2013, while the course was ranked in the top 15 in the publication’s course rankings for the first time in 2023.

The clubhouse offers a full line pro shop, concessions, and golf cart rentals. Exclusive facility rental opportunities are available for both golf and non-golf outdoor activities.

PGA Head Professional Michael Berneburg and his staff offer golf lessons for all ages and ability levels. Call 817-451-6101 for rates and availability.

With a long-standing commitment to environmental enhancement and preservation, Meadowbrook Park Golf Course is like a walk in the park for the whole family!

MUSIC UNDER THE STARS

The Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts in Arlington presents more than 50 free outdoor concerts a year with a broad-based concert calendar of professional musical artists, from world music to jazz and home-grown Texas country to hot Indie artists. The Levitt presents original artists, many of them Grammy Award winners.

Last concert season, the Levitt Pavilion attracted more than 73,200 people to Downtown Arlington from three countries, 23 states and 123 cities. The Levitt Pavilion experience is about building community as families, school groups, entire neighborhoods and people from all parts of our area join side by side in a safe, fun, casual atmosphere to enjoy live music together. Many of these families and groups would not have the opportunity to experience the magic of live music if they had to pay ticket prices.

The Levitt Pavilion gives our community an accessible gathering place for free music open to everyone – all ages, all ethnicities, all neighborhoods and all income levels.

Levitt Pavilion Arlington brings music and the performing arts to Arlington in a way thousands are responding to – available to everyone to enjoy under the stars.
