Arlington Parks and Recreation recently earned two awards from the Texas Recreation and Park Society (TRAPS), just one example of how Arlington continues working to Champion Great Neighborhoods, which the City Council has identified as one of their key priorities. Great neighborhoods contribute to a higher quality of life and greater investment in our economy.
Arlington Parks and Recreation earned the prestigious Texas Gold Medal Award – Class I and the 2023 TRAPS Maintenance Achievement Award. The biggest achievement that a department can earn on the state level, the Texas Gold Medal Award honors park agencies for excellence in the field of recreation and park management for the past three years.
