Enjoy a low-key but fun family day out when you head to Woodland West Outdoor Park and the Dottie Lynn Rec Center. Pack a picnic lunch and make sure the kids bring their frisbees or footballs so that they can play in the park's outdoor field areas. Also, remember the swimwear since the pool is open in the summer, and making a splash is the perfect way to cool off. Other amenities include playground equipment, a tennis court, restrooms, and a basketball court.
With the legacy of the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers looming large over the entire city of Arlington, it's not surprising that an entire museum specifically dedicated to sports art is such a popular venue. Reputed to be the nation's largest art gallery devoted to sports, the Hall of Fame Museum is a unique and awe-inspiring museum featuring original pieces as well as lithographs, statues, uniforms, autographs and various other types of memorabilia that even the most causal sports fan will find impressive. This impressive facility is housed within the Rangers Ball park and it offers a comprehensive look at the team's origins, triumphs, trials, and the people who played vital roles in the evolution of this highly regarded baseball team. The various exhibits include rare photos, memorabilia, team uniforms and audio and video presentations.
