The inaugural event at Fish Creek Park was a huge success with well over 500 people attending. Activities at Fish Creek were as diverse as the groups that provided them. Fort Worth Zoo brought out exotic animals to ogle at. Arlington Public Libraries offered a bean bag toss with prizes and handouts for everyone. River Legacy Science Center shed light on the world of turtles for the kids. And Arlington Parks and Recreation set up inflatables, a fishing tank, soccer and a boot camp. It also provided free food to all attendees.

“Boot camp” participants make their way around a cone during one of the drills. The activity was put on to promote fitness programs at the city’s recreation centers.

Hot dogs, snacks and drinks were provided to all attendees of Naturally Fun Neighborhoods at Fish Creek Park. The food was provided by Arlington Parks & Recreation.
