Bob Cooke Park - June 21, 2008

Naturally Fun Neighborhoods took its outdoor fun to the streets again at Bob Cooke Park on June 21.

bullet See all the photos!

The second event built upon the success of the inaugural with an even greater turnout. Fort Worth Zoo returned with new animals, like the Blue and Gold Macaw and Burmese Python. The Hugh Smith Recreation Center opened its indoor pool for learning how to kayak and the Arlington Police Department featured its Dunk-A-Cop with all proceeds going to public schools in Arlington. Once again, the Arlington Parks and Recreation Department set up inflatables and a soccer clinic and also offered a tennis clinic as well as fitness walking.

We caught one of the kids trying out the monkey mask he made. Arlington Parks and Recreation gave out animal masks and temporary tattoos to attendees of the event.

This girl is just beginning her masterpiece. Kids could choose from all sorts of animal masks such as monkeys, elephants, and zebras. Oh my!

Look out Federer! This guy’s got his game face on as he takes a swing at the tennis clinic.

Parks & Recreation Assistant Director and coordinator of Naturally Fun Neighborhoods, Gary Packan, finds time for a father-son moment at the kayaking clinic.
