Arlington residents have two new reasons to get outside and enjoy their city this summer. The City of Arlington recently marked a pair of exciting milestones in its parks and recreation offerings, with the opening of Al Rollins Park in Southwest Arlington and the dedication of the Clete McAlister Trail at Veterans Park.

Al Rollins Park, now open in the southwest part of the city, gives that community a fresh green space to gather, play, and connect with neighbors. The park’s opening reflects the city’s ongoing commitment to bringing quality recreational amenities to all corners of Arlington.

Just as exciting is the dedication of the Clete McAlister Trail at Veterans Park. The new trail honors its namesake and gives walkers, joggers, and cyclists a meaningful new route to explore within one of Arlington’s beloved public parks. Trail dedications like this one not only expand outdoor recreation options but also preserve the legacies of community members who helped shape the city.

Together, these two additions underscore Arlington’s investment in the well-being of its residents — creating welcoming, accessible spaces where families and neighbors can come together and enjoy the outdoors right in their own backyard.
