Great way to enjoy a summer or fall night. Take your chair, picnic supper (no glass), go early and enjoy a beautiful evening under the stars listening to some of the best music around.

If you come to Arlington, you MUST go to Top O'Hill! Who knew such interesting history happened in this very place .... Bonnie & Clyde and Frank Sinatra??? Oh, my! Vicki does an incredible job of sharing the history with humor and stories told to her by those who were at Top O'Hill in its glory days! Riveting. It's two hours well spent and a place you will be talking about to all of your friends!

Globe Life Park

Formerly named The Ballpark in Arlington, Ameriquest Field is the home of the Texas Rangers.

Reviewed By J9660CXdond

The last Texas Ranger’s baseball game happened about a week ago and now the last concert in this great Ballpark, the great Billy Joel. One of my wife’s neighborhoods friends growing up, back in old Hicksville Long Island. What a way to retire this great ballpark. You can’t imagine what great history has been made in this beautiful ballpark. But the history continues across the street in our new state of the art Texas Rangers Ballpark. Which opens next season. See you there, Capt D.

Tails and Trails Dog Park

Reviewed By OfficialBestOf - Tucson, United States

I travel tons with my dogs(kids) all over the country and this is truly one of the best. Half of this is in the woods with nice trails and benches and the other half is more like a typical dog park area, all being very large as is the style in Texas! The dogs love this park and it also has paved trails next to the park that you can walk if you prefer that. Its located right behind the animal shelter for Arlington and there is a library also right there.
