Arlington's River Legacy Park lives up to its name by striving to preserve the area's natural amenities in ways that will not only enhance them, but to also preserve them in order to pass them on to future generations. The River Legacy Foundation's various projects and endeavors work to accomplish that mission. When you visit this outdoor attraction, remember to spend time in the Living Science Center, a 12,000-square-foot facility that captures some of nature's most compelling scenes within the structure's sustainable design. The park itself is like a slice of nature tucked within Arlington's urban landscape. This park curves along the Trinity River creating a beautiful place to relax and enjoy some of North Texas' most visually stunning scenery.

One of Arlington's most historic sites is the Fielder House. It is still standing quite impressively, as it has a wealth of stories and history that have echoed across the years. The house has the distinction of being one of the earliest brick homes in the city that was equipped with an impressive set of amenities that included electrical lighting, central heating, a hot water system and indoor plumbing. Walking through this historic attraction is like traversing time, so take a little time to explore one of Arlington's true artifacts that has withstood the test of time.
