NATURE • COMMUNITY • FAMILY • WELLNESS
Connecting with the Natural World
Take a moment and think about the first spring day after a long winter. The sun is shining,
warming your body. You can hear the birds singing in the trees. You notice that you’re not the
only one taking advantage of this beautiful day. There are suddenly people all around you taking
advantage of being outside after the cold has kept them indoors for far too long. The bright sky
and warm air seems to lift our spirits. We feel better, even more relaxed. That first day of spring
feeling perhaps has no rival. But why exactly do we get such a “natural high” from this connection
with nature after a long hiatus? And is there a way to extend this short-term feeling so that it
becomes a long-term attitude?
Getting Your “Outdoorphins”
Endorphins are chemicals that are typically released in the body after exercise and produce a
feeling of well-being. “Outdoorphins” is a term that people having started using to define why
they feel so good from being active outside. Scientists have their own term to help explain why
connecting with nature feels good. It’s called biophilia, which is the innate affinity humans have
for other living things. Like most other processes that happen inside our bodies, biophilia’s roots
can be found in our ancient ancestors, human beings that had to hunt and gather in order to
survive.
“Greenness, water, and plants relax us, possibly because they signal access to food and shelter,”
said Seattle-based environmental psychologist Judith Heerwagen, PhD.
Arlington has more
than 50 miles of hike
and bike trails. If
you’re a mountain bike
enthusiast, there are
more than 10 miles
of cross country trails
that, according to the
Dallas Off-Road Bicycling
Association (DORBA),
are “some of the best
around.”
The benefits of connecting with nature in today’s world are plentiful. Numerous studies have
shown that just by spending time in natural surroundings, people report having reduced stress,
anger and depression. Spending time in nature also helps improve mood while lowering blood
pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and stress hormone levels.
A report published by the USDA Forest Service in 2010 even stated that, “forest visits may also
strengthen our immune system by increasing the activity and number of natural killer cells that
destroy cancer cells.” Still other studies have shown that fragrances found in various plants
and flowers have the ability to reduce stress when inhaled by changing gene activity and blood
chemistry.
Spending time in nature helps improve mood while lowering blood pressure, heart rate, muscle
tension and stress hormone levels.
For the Children
Perhaps no other group can benefit more from making a connection with nature than children.
Author Richard Louv, who wrote the bestsellers Last Child in the Woods and The Nature Principle,
coined the term “nature-deficit disorder” to describe the loss of connection children increasingly
feel with the natural world. He argues that nature-deficit disorder affects, “health, spiritual wellbeing, and many other areas, including [people’s] ability to feel ultimately alive.”
Tierra Verde Golf Club
was the first golf course
in Texas and the first
municipal course in the
world to be certified as
an Audubon Signature
Sanctuary. Not just for
golfers, the course offers
a full-service restaurant
with scenic views and
nature tours throughout
the year.
This disorder is due to the lack of open space, increasingly busy schedules, an emphasis on team
sports over individualized play and exploration, and competition from electronic media. The cure?
“We need to figure out ways to increase nature time even as technology increases,” said Louv. “It
has to be a conscious decision.”

Sketch by Kurt
Reichenstein,
who brings his
passion for art
to the APRD.
Kurt will teach
soccer, t-ball, art
academy and
much more!
EXERCISING HIS CREATIVITY
Recently hired Arlington Parks & Recreation fitness instructor Kurt Reichenstein
uses his passion for art to get others to unplug and connect.
Ever bought the “longest lasting battery”
only to find out that it did not last as long
as you thought it would? How about the
latest and greatest exercise machine,
and a month after you purchased it, your
laundry is hung and neatly folded all over
it? Have you ever felt totally plugged into
and attached to a treadmill?
Kurt Reichenstein, one of the newest
APRD fitness instructors, doesn’t believe
in becoming fit by being attached to
equipment. He believes you should
unplug from the machines and connect
to your own power to become physically
fit. Kurt has joined the City of Arlington
Parks and Recreation Department and
will be teaching a new class called From
Couch to 5K. He believes that every
person has within them the power to
fill their own battery, and eventually
accomplish the goal of finishing a 5K race.
“It doesn’t matter your age or your size.
It doesn’t matter if you have never run a
race. The goal is to finish and I can give
you the skills to accomplish that goal.
My greatest passion is training people to
finish”, says Kurt.
Kurt will teach each class participant all
the basics of starting and finishing a 5K
including how to fill out the application,
where to pin on the race number, what
to wear, how to warm up and even a
special way to tie your shoes. He will help
each student set their distance goals in a
manner that will build their confidence
and bring out each person’s competitive
spirit. Kurt believes, “the most important
thing is the person who is encouraging
you. If it is not fun, no one is going to do
it! I won’t ask anyone in the class to do
anything I wouldn’t do. And, I only want
to do things that are fun.”
Encouraging individuals to make fitness
a part of their lives is very important
to Kurt. He has been encouraging all
age groups for decades. Kurt was an
elementary Physical Education Teacher
for 33 years and has a Master’s Degree
in Recreation and Leisure Sciences. He
has taught fitness classes, including
within the City of Arlington, on and off for
almost 40 years. Kurt has also finished
multiple marathons and now officiates at
local races.
When he is not running races and
teaching other people how to become fit,
Kurt spends his time creating whimsical
art. He draws his inspiration for each
piece from the world around him. “I like
to think out of the box. My art is done in
my downtime. I guess you could say that
it is the time of the day when I unplug
from fitness and connect to the world
around me. But, it is important that I
connect to the world with uplifting art”,
Kurt says.
Each of Kurt’s art pieces captures a
moment with a whimsical and touching
interpretation, usually depicting children
and animals with big descriptive eyes
and happy faces. Some of his art has
been used as thank you cards, greeting
and note cards. They range from seasonal
pictorials to depictions of current events.
“My art lets me look at the world like a
kid would. Too many kids are connected
to computers and technology today.
They don’t use their imagination and
they don’t play outside. I believe you can
teach a kid to become fit by letting them
use their imagination, and they don’t
even realize they are getting exercise.
Let them become their favorite baseball
player and tell them to swing the bat
like that player. Pick up a golf club and
swing it like Tiger Woods. Don’t sit at a
video game and use your thumbs while
pretending to be an athlete. Just get
outside and do it!”, says Kurt.
Kurt wants to see adults getting outdoors
to become fit. “You have got to train
your mind, muscles and whole body.
The treadmill does half the work for you.
You have got to put one foot in front of
the other. It doesn’t matter if you have to
start out walking, add a little jogging and
then eventually teaching yourself to run”,
Kurt says. He encourages class members
to bring a buddy and plans to set a pace
for each individual. Every level of walker/
runner is welcome and according to Kurt,
every participant will learn the pride of
competition. He says, “My favorite thing
is when one of my students who started
out as a walker eventually wins their age
bracket in a race. But you got to get off
that couch and get out and do it.”

“
Camp Kitsu was an opportunity to
be adventurous, and I think that
was part of what made it so fun as
a director. I have many memories
that I am not soon to forget! I loved
the time truly spent outdoors
learning how to canoe, fish, use
a compass and build a fort out of
sticks, to name a few.”

It began with a baseball program that played its games at
Meadowbrook Park before Randol Mill was developed. Two youth
baseball fields and two senior baseball fields along with two
teenage baseball and two fast pitch fields were built in the midfifties. As fast pitch participation began to wane and slow pitch
softball began to overtake the numbers, the two teenage fields
became the first slow pitch complex in Arlington in latter 1960s
early 1970s.”
But while city sports offerings may have started with baseball
and softball, today the city has leagues in sports across the
spectrum. “The City of Arlington also provides both youth and
adult basketball, youth soccer, adult (men’s, women’s and coed) and youth (co-ed) volleyball, adult inline hockey, adult and
youth kickball (co-ed for both), adult men’s flag football, youth
cheerleading, and youth T-ball coach pitch and kid pitch baseball
(co-ed),” said Baggett.
28
With that many offerings in its lineup, many organizations, such as
local churches and businesses, look to the Arlington leagues to get
a little exercise and also maintain some fun rivalries.
“For years we have offered a Monday night men’s church league.
First Baptist Church and Fielder Road Baptist Church have been
a part of the program since the beginning and theirs was an early
rivalry. Business rivalries have come and gone over the years,
restaurants versus restaurants, General Motors teams versus Bell
Helicopter teams, etc.”
We have a team that has been with us for over 20 years who
started as seniors in high school playing with their dads.
During the week of Halloween they dress up in character to
play the game, from Forest Gump to Babe Ruth, to a sniper in
the outfield decked out in full camo to super heroes. They all
enjoy playing,” said Baggett.
This summer, two popular choices for adult team sports are
softball and kickball. To see the complete sport lineup and
registration dates, turn to pg. 25.

A NATURALLY
FUN PROPOSAL
Two Arlington Parks and Recreation regulars are loving married life after a Naturally Fun
romance that was sparked at Senior Center New York.
onnie and Don Adams said they
hope everyone will find the
kind of love they have.
The couple met four years ago at the
Arlington Senior Recreation Center on
New York Avenue. They saw each other
at events and often played games at the
same table, Don Adams said.
He asked Bonnie Adams to the Ennis
Bluebonnet Festival on April 17, 2010,
where they had their first date.
“I think he was pretty confident I would
say yes,” Bonnie said.
Pam Mitchell, an administrative aid at
the center, said she discovered they were
dating during an outing to the State Fair.
museums. Don said the key to a successful
relationship goes beyond the words
people say.
“We got back to the gate and she was real
giddy, almost like a schoolgirl,” Mitchell
said. “They were holding hands walking
back to the van.”
“You have to care about the person and
know they care about you,” he said. “You
have to really express that and show it
and believe it, not just say it.”
The pair married in October 2011 at a
small ceremony in their home in Arlington.
In November, they honeymooned on
a cruise to the Caribbean. Now they
enjoy a relaxed life, Don said, and spend
their time watching old movies, reading
poetry, listening to music and going to
Bonnie’s advice to couples is simple.
“Life is short,” she said. “Go for the gusto.”

It’s hard to find a more beautiful course than the award-winning
Tierra Verde Golf Club. Tierra Verde is the first golf course in Texas
and the first municipal course in the world to be certified as an
Audubon Signature Sanctuary. Walk onto the first tee and enter
an environment where golf and nature come together in harmony.
Named after life-long resident of Arlington Chester W. Ditto, Ditto
Golf Course is located in north Arlington, just 15 minutes from
the DFW airport and near the heart of Arlington’s Entertainment
District, featuring the Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys and Six
Flags.
Opened in 1998, and carved from 250 acres of secluded terrain,
the course’s unsurpassed layout encompasses a variety of natural
settings and offers an outstanding playing experience on every
hole. The course has been host to many prestigious events,
including the Byron Nelson Qualifying Tournament on multiple
occasions.
As a long-standing favorite among golfers in the Dallas-Fort Worth
area, Chester Ditto is 18-holes of challenging golf blending plush
fairways narrowed by trees and accented with strategically placed
sand bunkers and landing areas.
Tierra Verde was named the top golf course in the DFW Metroplex
in 2012 and 2013 by Avid Golfer magazine.*
Each hole has five sets of tees, sculpted fairways, strategically
placed sand bunkers and water hazards - all accented by stately
trees and beautiful native grasses.
The facility features a state-of-the-art golf learning center, a lighted
driving range, three-hole practice course and large chipping and
putting green complex. Also offered are lessons and clinics taught
by PGA/LPGA professionals and apprentices, an outdoor pavilion
and full-service restaurant, Ventana Grille, that complement
every event from small corporate outings to large fundraising
tournaments.
A driving range, practice putting green and chipping area are
offered to complete one’s golfing experience.
The clubhouse offers snack bar concessions and a full line pro
shop with today’s most popular equipment and apparel. Chester
Ditto also offers tournaments and private and group lessons
taught by PGA Professionals and Apprentices.
Chester Ditto was named one of Avid Golfer’s Top 50 DFW public
courses in 2013.
The course is currently in the Master Planning process
for significant improvements to both the golf course and
clubhouse. To review the plans and give your input, please visit:

Lake Arlington’s time-honored design blends open and tree-lined
fairways, long challenging par 3’s and scenic greens to appeal to

A challenge for the professional as well as the beginner, the four
sets of tees, ranging from 5,485 yards to 6,637, provides a fair
playing field that appeals to every level of proficiency.

A Ralph Plummer design, the course was renovated in 1998 and
celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013.
Avid Golfer voted Lake Arlington the most kid-friendly course in
DFW in 2013, while the layout garnered a Top-50 public course
ranking in the publication too.

lessons for all ages and ability levels. Call 817-451-6101 for rates

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.
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!

TIPS FROM
THE PROS
TY KRAUSE
Tournament & events coordinator
Arlington Golf
If I’m a first-time tournament
organizer, what are some things that
Arlington Golf can assist me with to
make my job easier? At Arlington Golf,
we offer concierge level service and
will consult and assist you throughout
tournament process. We will also identify
areas of focus that will allow you to stay
organized, efficient and maximize your

What are some of the services and
amenities that set a tournament at one
of the Arlington golf properties apart
from the competition? We take pride
in our ability to customize every event
and tailor to the needs of our clients. We
dedicate time and thought to creating the
best experience possible.
You offer much more than just golf
tournaments. Tell me about some
of the private events and catering
opportunities thru Arlington Golf. Our
passion is golf but our team is committed
to services and amenities beyond the
course. Tierra Verde hosts numerous
social events throughout the year such at
Mother’s Day Brunch, Party on the Patio

? You will find the best deals on outing

tends to be more flexibility on rate in the
late summer and winter months.

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.

F E AT U R E A R L I N GTO N PA R KS S P OT L I G H T :
RUSH CREEK MITIGATION
The City of Arlington unveiled plans in 2011 to acquire
weather-damaged homes near the Rush Creek area, and
transform the lots into public park land.
Chronic flooding from Hurricane Hermine in 2010 presented
an opportunity for the City of Arlington to purchase affected
homes and condominiums. These properties would be
demolished to expand park acreage at Clarence Foster Park,
Kelly Park, and Rush Creek Linear Park.
“The Rush Creek Mitigation project will benefit Clarence
Foster Park neighbors in several ways,” said Parks Project
Manager Kurt Beilharz. “The Park will be getting a
completely new playground with shade structures and a
new drinking fountain. The old exercise equipment that was
in the park will be replaced as well.
PARK IMPROVEMENTS:
• Removal of sections of Creekside Drive and Valleycrest Drive
• Re-grading and clean-up of the lots that were former home-sites
• Renovations and replacement in some areas of existing water and sanitary
sewer lines
• Replacement of the existing asphalt hike and bike trail in Clarence Foster
Park with a new 8’ wide concrete hike & bike trail
• Full replacement of the old, existing playground in Clarence Foster Park
“The old asphalt hike and bike trail will be replaced with a
new 8’ wide, lighted, looped concrete trail that will connect
to the existing trails in Kelley Park and Rush Creek Linear
Parks. A new lighted parking lot with an electronically
controlled gate will also be installed on the south side of
the park.”
• New exercise equipment installed at 4 locations along the new trail (8
individual pieces in total)
The “Rush Creek Flood Mitigation Project” contract was bid
out on September 24, 2013. The $2,000,000 project called
for more than 20 acres of former residential land to be repurposed into park property.
For more information on the Rush Creek Flood Mitigation Project contact
Kurt Beilharz at 817-459-5478 or [email protected] or visit the
Arlington Park and Recreation Department online at NaturallyFun.org.

• A new, lighted parking lot on the south side of Clarence Foster Park
• Updates to the trail lighting system
• New wildflower areas seeded in Kelly Park along the existing trail

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

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,

week will be there to sell their wares.”
The food truck craze that continues to sweep across the nation
has officially hit the DFW Metroplex and your Arlington Parks and
Recreation Department. The APRD has created a way for residents
and really anyone who is hankering for some awesome food truck
eats and treats to get your fill.
Based on great turnouts during the first few weeks of the five-week
pilot program, the Arlington Parks and Recreation department is
looking to extend the days and hours the trucks are available, as
well as increase the number of locations they serve. Stay tuned to
naturallyfun.org for upcoming dates and additional information!
