Woodland West Pool Renovation Open House – Thursday, April 3
Dive into the future! Help us shape the perfect community pool by attending the Woodland West Pool Renovation Open House on Thursday, April 3 from 5-7 PM at Dottie Lynn Recreation Center. Residents are invited to join us in person to see design plans and give feedback on potential amenities. Arlington voters approved the Woodland West Aquatic Center Renovation on the 2023 Bond. This project will bring much needed improvements to Woodland West Park.
Tents & Tales Campout – Friday, April 4
Join us for a night under the stars as we camp out at River Legacy Park on Friday, April 4! Make sure to pack your tents and sleeping bags as we set out for wilderness right here in the city. The night will include a hot dog dinner, campfire s’mores, a movie under the stars, sleeping bag story time, and a good old fashion camping sing along. The fun begins at 4 PM and we will depart on Saturday morning at 8 AM. Free for kids ages 2 and under.
