Lake Arlington is a favorite destination for fishing, swimming, water recreation and just having some great fun in the North Texas sunshine. Also, the lake is a favorite of boaters as well; don't be surprised to see some impressive sails in the wind, as sailboats glide through the water, especially on weekends and holidays. Don't forget to bring your sunscreen!
Arlington's Upstairs Gallery has maintained an impressive forty-year tradition of featuring the work of Arlington-area artists as well as the work of artisans from the surrounding metro-plex. That scope has produced a truly unique collection of work, from the traditional to the modern, presented in various mediums. The gallery also encourages budding artists to follow their muse by offering classes for kids, teenagers and adults over the course of the year.
