Your attendance is requested at Arlington Parks and Recreation's upcoming public meeting on November 15, 2016 at 6:30 PM at the Boles Junior High School (3900 SW Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington, TX 76017).

The following topics will be discussed at the meeting:

• Park development background
• This development is the result of $500,000 from the 2014 Bond
• Existing conditions (outdated playground pieces, damaged pond overlook, overgrown vegetation, pond siltation, pond overflow structure issues)
• Present conceptual master plan for improvements
• Improvements include:
  • New/replace playground pieces (2-5 year olds and 5-12 year old units)
  • Trail loop around pond w/ 2 new pedestrian bridges
  • New/replace pond overlook. This is a requirement of a 1998 Texas Park and Wildlife Department grant.
