The City of Arlington has launched a regular Bond Tracker segment for MyArlingtonTV to keep residents informed about the progress of construction on dozens of projects that were included in the City's bond elections.

This month's episode revisits the new Lake House at Richard Simpson Park, which opened to the public in February 2019. 

The Lake House, located at 6300 W Arkansas Ln, Arlington, TX 76016, features an 1,800 square foot community room with an adjoining covered patio overlooking Lake Arlington, making the venue a great space for private event rentals, business meetings and corporate outings.

There are also new restrooms for residents and visitors, dedicated offices for lake staff, a lounge and rental room, a warming kitchen for rental and parks activities, and a reconfigured parking lot with direct sidewalk access to the boat dock.

The $3.5 million voter-approved park redevelopment improvements align with the Arlington City Council priority to Champion Great Neighborhoods. Construction is funded through the 2008 Bond Referendum and Arlington Tomorrow Foundation.

In November 2018, Arlington residents approved the City's proposed $189 million bond program and a citizen-led initiative to establish term limits for the Mayor and Arlington City Council, according to unofficial voting results.

The City offers residents an interactive Bond Tracker website, filtered map, updated stories and videos on construction projects, and complete list of the Capital Budget Planning and Project Sequencing for the 2014 and 2018 Bond Programs here.

Each project will be updated on the website and the City will post stories, videos and pictures of the progress of those projects.
