Fish Creek Neighborhood Park offers a little something to do outdoors for everyone in the family. The kids will love the park amenities like the playground rides and basketball courts, but even the younger kids will have fun in the toddler play area. This section of the park specializes in providing children between the ages of 2 and 5 a safe environment in which to play and enjoy themselves. The park's pavilion is available for rental for family events and group activities.
Skating is a great way to get some exercise while having a lot of fun with a date, or the whole family. This is an enjoyable experience, no matter what the skill level is. Arlington Skatium offers a friendly and safe recreation environment in which to skate (or learn how). Skate rental is available as well as a rest area and a place to enjoy some concessions before you get back out on the rink for more fun.
Arlington's Holiday Lights Parade is a family favorite. The city officially illuminates its Christmas tree and the event provides lots of family activities and entertainment provided free of charge. The celebration includes live music, free carriage rides, face painting and even free photos with Santa. Grab your eggnog and warm coat and get ready for some holiday cheer, North Texas style!
