NATURE • COMMUNITY • FAMILY • WELLNESS
BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER
In addition to noodling around with science projects every once in a while, Albert Einstein
once said these words about being a part of a community: “Only a life lived for others is a life
worthwhile.” While technological advances have allowed us to connect in ways previous
generations had never dreamed of, these connections are more often detached.
Our busy schedules and the frequency at which we change jobs and homes make it hard to feel
a sense of community these days. Left unchecked, this sense of isolation can beget loneliness
and depression, which can spiral into increased violence, substance abuse and even mental
illness. Making a connection within our communities by building relationships with our neighbors
and serving in civic and/or religious groups are examples of those deeper, more meaningful
relationships that can lead to improved health on an individual level and improved wellness of
the community as a whole.
But what is the definition of a community? Is it a geographic space within which we reside? Is it
based upon our race, color or creed? Or is it based upon some other definition? For most people,
community is a sense of cohesiveness among a group of people that share a vested interest. These
interests include the well-being of your neighborhood, maintaining healthy and vibrant schools,
supporting local sports teams, and being active in a local church or civic group. In addition to
making the community stronger, supporting these types of interests has numerous benefits for
the individual as well.
What are the benefits of community involvement?
Consider these benefits listed on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) website
Healthychildren.org:
• Participating in community activities gives you more opportunities to become an independent
and successful [person].
• It provides you with a group of friends who can help you learn more about yourself and your
talents and help you make better decisions.
• By connecting with your community, you are never alone. You have a place to go and people to
talk with when you need it.
• The more you help others, the better you feel and the more likely that someone will be there
for you.
Making the connection to your community doesn’t necessarily mean you need to join your local
chamber of commerce or run for school board president. It can be as simple as meeting your
neighbors or buying from a local merchant, or even visiting your local “third place.” What is a
third place, you ask? Third places have been defined as those locations in our communities where
people gather to visit, share news and just be among other people. These places include coffee
shops, libraries, and parks and recreation facilities and often feel like a home away from home.

AWARDS & ACCOLADES
APRD a finalist for national honor
A
rlington Parks and Recreation has been selected as
a finalist for the 2014 National Gold Medal Award
for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management
program. The award is handed out by the American
Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA) and the
National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).
The Gold Medal Award honors communities throughout the United
States that demonstrate excellence in long-range planning, resource
management, and agency recognition. Each agency is judged on its
ability to address the needs of those it serves through the collective
energies of citizens, staff, and elected officials.
Other three national finalists in the Class II division (populations
of 150,000-400,000) are Bakersfield (CA) Recreation and Parks,
Henderson (NV) Public Works, Parks and Recreation, and Plano (TX)
Parks and Recreation.
The Gold Medal Grand Plaque will be presented at the opening
session of the 2014 NRPA Congress in Charlotte, N.C., on Tuesday,
October 14.
APRD Marketing team wins website awards
Arlington Parks and Recreation’s new website NaturallyFun.org
earned the Texas Recreation & Park Society (TRAPS) 2014 Website
Excellence award and also received national honors for Best Website
Design by LERN. The new website includes social media integration,
a park amenity finder and maps, an interactive blog, digital calendar
of events, and a responsive design that re-formats to iPhone,
Android, and tablet layouts. The site was built using a content
management system that allows staff to easily add content to the
website without web design skills.
Arbor Day Foundation honors Arlington
Arlington was named a 2013 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day
Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest
management. The community also received a Tree City USA Growth
Award for demonstrating environmental improvement and higher
level of tree care. Arlington achieved Tree City USA recognition by
meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree board, a tree-care
ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per
capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.
The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day
Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the
National Association of State Foresters.
Once again, Arlington proves it really knows how to play. For the
seventh straight year, national non-profit KaBOOM! has designated
Arlington as one of its Playful City USA communities for its efforts
to increase play opportunities for children and its outstanding
dedication to play. The KaBOOM! Playful City USA program,
sponsored by the Humana Foundation, honors cities, towns and
communities across America that are taking bold steps to ensure
that all children, especially the 16 million American kids living
in poverty, have easy access to balanced and active play in their
communities. Arlington is one of just two cities in Texas to have
earned seven distinctions.
Meadowbrook Park earns recognition
Arlington’s Meadowbrook Park was recently selected as a Lone Star
Legacy Park by the Texas Recreation and Parks Society (TRAPS) in
a ceremony at the association’s annual institute in Corpus Christi
on February 19, 2014. To qualify for consideration, the park must
have endured the test of time and become iconic to those who have
visited, played and rested on its grounds.
Built in the center of Arlington in 1928, Meadowbrook Park seems
to hold a special place in people’s hearts. Whether it is memories
of the 9-hole golf course that sits on the south side of the building
or simply reminiscing about the neighborhood and programs they
participated in in as a child at the center, many citizens express fond
memories of this particular recreation center from their youth.
Lone Star Legacy Parks must be a minimum of 50 years old. A Lone
Star Legacy Park holds special prominence in the local community
and the state of Texas. A designation as a Lone Star Legacy is one of
the highest honors that can be bestowed on a park.
Arlington wins Keep Texas Beautiful award
The City of Arlington and the APRD Forestry and Beautification
division earned first place in Keep Texas Beautiful’s Government
Award (Texas cities with population of 50,000+). The award is given
to municipalities that make outstanding contributions to the Texas
environment.
The City of Arlington’s Forestry and Beautification (FAB) Division
works with Keep Arlington Beautiful (KAB) to achieve KAB’s mission
of environmental conservation and education. Among the many
contributions, in an effort to promote water conservation at City
facilities and parks, the FAB Division installed native landscaping
at the Parks and Recreation main office in the spring of 2013. This
project included a 10,000 gallon water harvesting cistern that is
estimated to collect up to 172,000 gallons of water annually. FAB
has also created an educational component for schools, events, and
forestry camps to discuss conservation of trees, water, prairies and
wildlife.
By coordinating tree planting events, FAB is currently working
toward their goal to raise Arlington’s Urban Forest canopy by
planting over 30,000 trees in 10 years. The initiative is part of the
Tree North Texas program, the largest tree planting initiative in the
nation, with a plan to plant over 3 million trees in North Texas during
the next decade. Through cleanup events, FAB engages community
volunteers in the removal of thousands of trash bags of waste from
creeks, streams and waterways. To assist in many of these events,
FAB staff also coordinates the funding for Keep Arlington Beautiful’s
Mobile Litter Unit. The unit is stocked full with litter pickup tools,
and is made available free of charge to Arlington residents and
businesses for beautification and litter pickup.

The City of Arlington Parks and Recreation Department
received four awards from the Texas Recreation and Parks
Society at the 2013 state conference in Lubbock, Texas.
Foundation. A city-wide facility at Vandergriff Park, as
well as several small skate-lets located in linear parks, are
scheduled to open in 2014.
Sue Phillips, a long-time resident of east Arlington, received
the “Outstanding Service Award”. The award is given to
an individual that has contributed extensive volunteer time
toward providing leisure service programs, facilities, actively
supported bond proposals through the local community.
Phillips is a member of the Arlington Parks Board and the
founder of east Arlington renewal.
The ReLEAF program earned the APRD the “Lone Star
Recreation Programming Achievement Award” in
recognition for innovative and effective recreation
programming during the Arlington Tornado ReLEAF tree
planting event. During the one-day event last November,
the city planted 1,000 trees to replace ones that were
lost during the tornadoes that ravaged southwest and
west Arlington in April of 2012. Over 500 volunteers came
together to assist the APRD with the effort.

The APRD received the “Planning for Excellence” award
for the city-wide skate park master plan. On March 12,
2013, the APRD hosted the grand opening of the Cody

Park. Arlington’s first skate park was built with funding from

Q: WHAT DO YOU DO AT CAMP HUGH?
I work as the Assistant Director and I oversee all the groups of kids:
big, small and the counselors. I make sure they get everywhere on
time and everyone has what they need. When its lunchtime, I make
sure kids get their lunch out, and clean up afterwards. Essentially, I
make sure everything is running smoothly throughout the day.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF SUMMER CAMP?
I love seeing the kids come out of their shell in during opening
assembly. I am a goofy kind of guy: I like to sing, dance, be loud,
and just have fun with the kids. Some kids are shy, quiet and often
nervous but whenever you interact with them and act goofy, as goofy
as you can be, it kind of pops the bubble for them. It makes them

see that they don’t have to worry about being embarrassed because
they look at me, and the other counselors, and see us having fun and
being crazy. It gets everyone interacting. It’s just really cool.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT WORKING FOR APRD?
My favorite part about it is making a difference in kids’ lives. These
kids have the world ahead of them and they might not know what
they want to do in life, but when they come to camp it’s a place where
they can have a sense of belonging. Summer camp is a time where
kids can make friends for life, and I love being present for that time
of their lives.
Q: WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE A CAMP COUNSELOR?
Camps have always been a big part of my life. When I was little, I loved
sports so I went to several different sports camps. I also liked to go
to a Christian camp called Camp Thurman which had a huge impact
on my life. It was an awesome experience growing up and I always
thought, “I want to be just like these counselors.” I still remember one
of my favorite counselors; his nickname was “Fish”. I’ll never forget
him and how much fun he made camp for me and all the other kids.
That’s something that I’ll never forget, and I want to be that kind of
influence in the lives of the kids at Camp Hugh.

THE YOUTH
SPORTS PYRAMID
Why Kids Stop Playing.
A
s sports administrators we are asked daily why
kids have stopped playing youth sports. Besides an
obvious technology take-over, there are other reasons
kids stop playing sports. Youth sports surveys point to
three reasons kids stop playing. The biggest reason being: Sports
are no longer “fun”.
Fun has been taken out of youth sports. Screaming parents,
demanding coaches and the overwhelming need to perform at
everyone else’s level, except their own, has pushed thousands
of kids off the sports fields and onto the sofa. Kids are benched
during games with little to no play if they are less talented
than others on a team. Talk about adults fostering feelings of
inadequacy in children! It’s sad that at age 10 kids feel washed up
from playing sports.
Willie Stargell once said, “It’s supposed to be fun, the man says
‘Play Ball’ not ‘Work Ball’ you know.”
30
In today’s ultra competitive world some things must remain pure and teach more than just winning. The challenge of the sport is far
more the greater victory than the results on
the scoreboard.
There are programs which offer greater challenges for children
who possess the aptitude, attitude, skills and desire to play at a
higher level.
For other programs the emphasis is on providing recreational
activities (sports) to others whose measure of success is
participating at their level rather than performing at expected
levels.
The youth sports pyramid is based on five levels participants go
through when playing sports.
INTRODUCTION
This level introduces the child to the very basics of team sports. As
early as age 3, children can get exposed to athletics. The instincts
of a child are to run, kick and throw.
ALTERNATIVE
This level is the experimental level. A child might have started in
soccer and then go to baseball, football, gymnastics, cheerleading
or any other activity.
SKILLS
At this level the skills for a specific sport becomes the main
emphasis. Kids become overwhelmed and frustrated since many
can no longer keep the pace.
SELECTIVE
Tryouts, performance and personal
experiences determine whether a child
continues or drops.
At the City of Arlington Parks and
Recreation Department, our focus has
always been on the development of our
youth on and off the field. The department’s
“Playing is Winning” philosophy was
introduced in 2005 with a premise that
all participants win by participating in
recreational sports.
ELITE
Moving on with the select concept in the
next level. Most teams take the top 5% of
their team and add from other teams to
become more elite.
There has always been a separation in
performance over the years. The issue has
become that the age of the separation
has gotten younger and younger. Kids are
dropping from sports because the exclusion
has started at an earlier age and programs
have established themselves as elite.
Many of these programs are not elite and
it’s unfortunate that our youth are being
pressured at ages 6-7 to perform at a level
of 12 year olds.
ELITE
Most teams take the top
5% of their team and
add from other teams to
become more elite.
SELECTIVE
Tryouts, performance
and personal experiences
determine whether a child
continues or drops.
04
Our program goal focuses on the child
and their involvement instead of the
scoreboard. After all, team sports provide
much more than a win/loss record.
Sports leagues builds character, teaches
teamwork, improves social skills and
involves them in physical activities while
having fun.
At the end of the season, each participant
receives an award not for their W-L record
but because of their continued involvement
in sports. This seems to be a hot topic right
now of whether awards should be given
05
for certain age groups. For our program,
we will continue to hand out the trophies
and medals each season. After all, we are a
recreational league focusing on the physical
fitness and development of our youth.
These awards don’t represent a win against
all other teams, it represents the teamwork
of a season through the support of your
coach, players, team mom and any other
person that assisted during the nine week
season.
Life will be full of wins and losses, now is
the time to build the foundation to help
them overcome the hurdles.

SKILLS
Sport-specific skills are
the emphasis. Kids become
overwhelmed since many
can no longer keep pace.

child might have started in

MEADOWBROOK PARK
Arlington’s tradition of outstanding golf began in the 1920’s with
Meadowbrook Park Golf Course. Conveniently located just east of
downtown Arlington, the golf course provides an excellent choice
for families and leagues.
The golf course is the centerpiece of Arlington’s first city park.
Arlington purchased the 52-acre site in 1923 and it was sponsored
by the Arlington Rotary Club. The site includes picnic grounds and
the tree-filled nine-hole golf course. Many of the holes feature
vistas of nearby AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
In 2014, the golf course became just the second FootGolf course
in DFW. Visit ArlingtonGolf.com/footgolf to learn more about the
new sport.
Meadowbrook Park is the perfect facility to learn the game of
golf and sharpen short-game skills. The 9-Hole, par-33 layout
consists of six par 4s, 250 to 300 yards in length, and three par 3s,
approximately 150 yards in length.
The course can be easily walked or played under time constraints
and has a long-standing commitment to beginning adult and
junior golfers. Golf legends Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson once led
golf clinics here.
Its small greens and narrow fairways are designed to challenge
every level of player.
The clubhouse offers a full line pro shop, concessions, and golf
cart rentals. Exclusive facility rental opportunities are available
for both golf and non-golf outdoor activities. With a long-standing
commitment to environmental enhancement and preservation,
Meadowbrook Park Golf Course is like a walk in the park for the
whole family!

MEADOWBROOK PARK
HOME TO SECOND DFW
FOOTGOLF COURSE
The Arlington Parks and Recreation Department “kicked off” a new
program in August at the oldest golf course in Arlington. On August
2nd, Meadowbrook Park Golf Course became the home of the City’s
new FootGolf course.
FootGolf is a combination of the popular sports of soccer and golf.
Instead of golf clubs and golf balls, the game is played with a soccer
ball and a 21-inch diameter cup. The rules mostly correlate with
the rules of golf. While FootGolf is played throughout the world, it is
estimated their are only 180 courses across the United States. The
Meadowbrook Park Golf Course is the second course to open in DFW.
The FootGolf layout utilizes the same routing as the golf course, with
the FootGolf cups positioned in close proximity to the existing golf
greens.
Golf Course Superintendent Brick Scott heard about the idea this
spring and introduced it to park officials earlier this summer. “We
always want to find new ways to encourage people to get outside
and recreate,” said Scott. This is a great way to introduce people to
golf and a new activity that the whole family can enjoy.”
52
The course has submitted paperwork to be certified by the
Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG) and the American
FootGolf League (AFGL). As a certified course, Meadowbrook Park
could host local AFGL leagues, as well as state, regional and national
tournaments.
While most FootGolf venues are strictly par-3 courses, Meadowbrook
Park has a par of 70, with a mix of shorter and longer holes.
The cost for an 18-hole round of FootGolf is the same as a round of
traditional golf. Prices start as low as $9.00 for adults and $7.50 for
juniors. The course has rental soccer balls available for $3.00.
Tee times are accepted up to a week in advance by phone or in
person. To book your next round, please call the Pro Shop at 817275-0221. For more information, visit ArlingtonGolf.com/footgolf.

LEVEL ASSESSMENT
The City of Arlington’s Learn to Swim
Program follows the American Red Cross
Swim and Water Safety Program. We assess
each child on the first day of class to help
with accurate placement of the child in the
correct level. If possible, we will move the
child to a level that best suits his or her skill
level. If a child is registered in the incorrect
class, every effort will be made to place
them into a class of an appropriate level but
cannot be guaranteed.
We ask parents to help assist us with
registering their child in the correct level by
talking to their child’s instructor at the end of
the session and/or following the guidelines
below.

Level 2 - Fundamental Aquatic Skills
The objective of Level 2 is to give participants success with
fundamental skills. Participants learn to float without support and
to recover to a vertical position. This level marks the beginning
of true locomotion skills. Participants continue to explore
simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and
back to lay the foundation for future strokes.
The objectives of Level 4 are to develop confidence in the strokes
learned thus far and to improve other aquatic skills. Participants
improve their skills and increase their endurance by swimming
familiar strokes (front crawl, elementary backstroke) for greater
distances. Students also continue to build upon the scissors kick
and dolphin kick by adding the arms for sidestroke and butterfly.
The back crawl and the breaststroke are introduced in Level 4, as
well as the basics of turning at a wall.
Prerequisite: Participants entering this course must have a Level 3 certificate
or must be able to demonstrate all the completion requirements in Level 3.

ayle Howington says she can never
remember not knowing how to swim. She
started her journey with swimming pools as a
16-year-old lifeguard in Longview, Texas. Roll
the calendar forward to 2014 and she is still in
the water and loving it a mere 56 years later!
Her career as a water professional has far
exceeded the notion of getting a good suntan
on a pool deck while lifeguarding. She became
an accomplished tennis player, swimmer,
teacher, pool manager and matriarch for
the Aquatics Division. Arlington is a better
place because of Gayle’s love for children,
swimming and water safety.
Gayle has worked for the Aquatics Division
since 1986. “During my years with the Parks
and Recreation Department, I have worn
many hats and seen many changes and the
best change I have seen was when (Aquatics
Manager) Maria Campbell and (Aquatics
Program Coordinator) Olivia Bradley took
over the Aquatics Division. I have truly been
blessed to have the privilege of working with
these two ladies”, said Howington.
“Hugh Smith Indoor Pool is my baby. I love
seeing children learn how to swim who
might not otherwise have the opportunity
to participate because of money or
transportation challenges. Many of our
customers fortunately live close enough that
they can walk to Hugh”, Howington explains.
“I feel that for every child we teach to swim
that will be one less person we will see as a
drowning statistic.”

opening of Allen Bolden Pool and the Bad
Königshofen Family Aquatics Center. She has
also witnessed the rebuilds and programming
for Helen Wessler Play Pool, Howard Moore
Play Pool and the Randol Mill Family Aquatics
Center. In 1987, Howington was part of the
management team that oversaw the opening
of Bolden Pool in Vandergriff Park. She
noted that the shiny new 50-meter pool was
extremely well received by the community
and that it hosted approximately 800 visitors
each day through the entire summer.

CLARENCE FOSTER PARK
The City of Arlington Parks and Recreation
Department recently completed a
renovation project at Clarence Foster Park
in west Arlington.
The 15-acre park, named after the former
Arlington City Council member and Water
Commissioner when Lake Arlington was
built, is beginning to look better than ever.
The project, slated to be completed in
August 2014, will include a new 8-foot-wide,
concrete “Hike & Bike Trail” that circles the
park, with 5 new benches along the route.
The lighted trail also ties into existing trails
in Kelley Park and Rush Creek Linear Park.
In addition, the Clarence Foster Park will
have a new, shaded playground with
separate areas of equipment designed
for 2 to 5-year-olds and 5 to 12-year-olds,
and eight stationary pieces of exercise
equipment for adults located in four
separate locations adjacent to the trail.
The added security lighting on the trail,
fully-renovated playground, drinking
fountain, benches, trail improvements, and
64
the new exercise equipment were funded
through the 2008 Bond Referendum.
PARK IMPROVEMENTS:
• Shaded playground with separate areas
of equipment for 2 to 5-year-olds and 5 to
12-year-olds
• Eight stationary pieces of exercise
equipment for adults (located in four
separate locations adjacent to the trail)
• Drinking fountain and ADA picnic table
• A new concrete pad for the existing picnic
tables
• Eight-foot-wide, concrete “Hike & Bike
Trail” with five new benches located along
the newly lighted trail
• Lighted parking lot
“The new parking lot, grading and drainage
work are a part of the Rush Creek Flood
Mitigation project area, which includes 3
parks: Kelley Park, Clarence Foster Park,
and Rush Creek Linear Park,” Park Project
Manager Kurt Beilharz said.
“It was all wrapped into one large-scale
project along with improvements to public
water supply lines and sanitary sewer lines.
It gave us a great opportunity to improve
the connection from the trail loop in
Clarence Foster Park, over to the existing
trail spine that runs through Kelley and
Rush Creek Linear parks.
“Clarence Foster Park and the natural
open space immediately east of it is now a
beautiful place to go walking/jogging, bike
riding, bird watching and more.”
For more information on the Clarence
Foster Park project contact Kurt Beilharz at
[email protected] or 817-4595478.

FREE MUSIC UNDER THE STARS
The Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts in Arlington presents more than 50 free outdoor concerts a year with a broad-based concert calendar
of professional musical artists, from world music to jazz and home-grown Texas country to hot Indie artists. The Levitt presents original artists,
many of them Grammy Award winners. Our Children’s Concerts include fun, interactive shows with award-winning artists who teach young
audiences gentle lessons about good manners, creativity, self-esteem and the world around them in a fun way.
Last concert season, the Levitt Pavilion attracted more than 123,000 people to Downtown Arlington. The Levitt Pavilion experience is about
building community as families, school groups, entire neighborhoods and people from all parts of our area join side by side in a safe, fun, casual
atmosphere to enjoy live music together. Many of these families and groups would not have the opportunity to experience the magic of live
music if they had to pay ticket prices.
The Levitt Pavilion gives our community an accessible gathering place for free music open to everyone – all ages, all ethnicities, all neighborhoods
and all income levels. Levitt Pavilion Arlington brings music and the performing arts to Arlington in a way thousands are responding to –
available to everyone to enjoy under the stars.

Lake Arlington is a municipally owned multi-purpose reservoir
used for municipal and industrial water supply, and for recreational
purposes. The reservoir is located on Village Creek in Tarrant County
at the western edge of Arlington. The City of Arlington, recognizing
the need for additional water supply, began construction of the

143 square miles. The service spillway overflow elevation is 550 feet
above mean sea level.
Lake Arlington has various facilities for your enjoyment. There are
two parks located along Lake Arlington’s eastern shore, Richard
Simpson Park (6300 W. Arkansas Ln.) to the north and Bowman
Springs Park (7003 Poly Webb Rd.) to the south.
Special attractions at these parks include boat launches, picnic
areas, BBQ grills and restrooms. Pavilions are available for rent
at both parks. Richard Simpson Park also has the Lake Arlington
Activity Room, which can be reserved for private functions. A
recreation permit is required to place, operate or keep any boat or
other craft on Lake Arlington, including rowboats, canoes, kayaks,
motorboats, sailboats, barges, personal watercraft and sailboards.
