City of Arlington multi-purpose recreation center at 4600 W. Bardin Road, opened in 1990, with a 9,000 square foot gymnasium, fitness room, classrooms and kitchen, adjacent to Cliff Nelson Park and its playground, pond, trail and tennis courts. Arlington Parks & Recreation runs weekly summer camp sessions here, registered through the city's ActiveNet system; a camp directory listing describes them as half-day mini camps rotating through volleyball, cooking, science, art and sports. A current annual membership card is required to take part in any center program. Camp ages and daily hours are not published on the city's facility page.

Just outstanding! Staff: impeccable Instructors: top notch Availability: great!
Beautiful park for family fun fishing usually is good
I briefly attended a church's Christmas party. The room they were in was a decent size. The kitchen was spacious.
Very nice park. It has one station with doggy bags and a doggy fountain. Water runs slowly in this fountain and is not scary to the dogs.
