LEVEL ASSESSMENTThe 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 from the previous session and/or following the guidelines below.

Okay, now that’s weird…but we have our Candy Factory Camp for them as well.

And we have a whole lot more mini camps designed for ages 3-12 to choose from. Sign your kids up for a morning camp or afternoon camp and then spend the other half of the day with them! Check out pages 31-37 for all of our camp listings.

DID YOU KNOW?All three of Arlington Golf’s 18-hole layouts were ranked on Avid Golfer magazine’s list of the Top 60 public golf courses in Dallas-Fort

Worth, including top honors for Tierra Verde Golf Club, which was named the best premium public golf course in the Metroplex.

TIERRA VERDEGOLF CLUB

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.

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.

Tierra Verde was named the top golf course in the DFW Metroplex in 2012 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.

CHESTER DITTO GOLF COURSE

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.

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.

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.

LAKE ARLINGTONGOLF COURSE

Lake Arlington Golf Course is a beautiful 18-hole facility nestled on 185 acres on the north shore of Lake Arlington. The course was designed with all types of players in mind and with the newly renovated fairways and greens, the course provides a great golfing experience at an exceptional value.

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

The clubhouse features a well stocked pro shop and grill. Lake Arlington’s combination of enjoyable golf, convenient location and professional staff create the perfect setting for group outings and tournaments.

The course offers challenging golf along with a practice putting green and chipping area at an exceptional value.

Avid Golfer ranked Lake Arlington in its list of the top-60 courses in DFW last year, specifically mentioning that the “lack of homes on the course makes you feel far away from the Metroplex.”

MEADOWBROOK PARK GOLF COURSE

Arlington’s tradition of outstanding golf began in the 1920’s with Meadowbrook Park. Conveniently located just east of downtown Arlington, the golf course provides an excellent choice for families and leagues.

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. Due to its shorter length, Meadowbrook is easily played when under time constraints.

Its small greens and narrow fairways are designed to challenge every level of player and is fun for the whole family.

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!

INSTRUCTION


ATC facility manager Sheryl Osborn recently received recognition for the second year in a row from the USTA for her efforts in growing tennis in the Arlington community.

Sheryl was also awarded the Tennis Across America honor from the United States Professional Tennis Association – Texas for organizing free community tennis events that have reached nearly 2,000 people in the last three years alone.

Teaching professional Lisa Osborn (pictured above) was selected to represent north and central Texas on the 10 and Under Sub Committee for the USTA Texas Section. Osborn, a top level teaching professional at ATC, has served on the USTA Texas Junior Tennis Council (JTC) since 2008.

Texas leadership tapped Lisa for the five-member 10 and Under Sub Committee because of her expertise, knowledge and involvement with Texas tennis, specifically 10 and Under programs. USTA Texas is a national

leader in 10 and Under tennis, and the Sub Committee will be charged with evaluating the nationally recognized pathway established by USTA Texas in 2011.

Responsibilities will include review of program facts and figures, as well as dialogue with providers and end users (players and parents) and formulating recommended adjustments to enhance growth in 10 and Under programs.

ATC STAFF DRAWS STATE RECOGNITIONTwo members of the Arlington Tennis Center staff were recently recognized by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) for their efforts in growing the sport through the 10 and Under youth initiatives. Sheryl Osborn, Lisa Osborn and the entire ATC staff have been instrumental in creating a welcoming environment for junior tennis players of all skill levels with the recent addition of six 10 and Under courts and specific programming and instruction for younger players.

TENNIS STAFF SPOTLIGHT


Dory Habenicht’s background in tennis spans more than 60 years. She was an original member of the Arlington Tennis Association Board of Directors and a driving force behind the development of junior events when there were only a few park courts in the area.

Over 40 years ago, Dory organized a group of ladies called the Tuesday Toughies (who now play at ATC). Another of her groups, The Golden Girls of Tennis, are on a mission to attend every Grand Slam at least once.

Dory worked as an usher at the Virginia Slims in the 1970s, witnessing a teenaged Martina Navratilova making her mark in the tennis world. She was a Nominating Committee officer for Tennis Competitors of Dallas (TCD) in the 1990s and 2000s, and she has played on the same TCD team, The Fair Ladies, for 35 years. In recent decades, she has served on the USTA Texas Senior Council. At 79, Dory still plays tennis almost daily on one of her five various teams, and her USTA Ladies’ 3.0 team won the Sectional Championship in 2007.

Dory is always all smiles, and she is widely known for her colorful holiday tennis attire, and for the parties she hosts for her teams and their opponents each week.

In 2006, Dory attended ‘An Intimate Evening with Billie Jean King’ in Dallas. Dory wore her Virginia Slims button from her usher days, and Billie Jean commented on it. Dory told Billie Jean how much she admired her for all that she did for tennis, specifically for women’s tennis. Billie Jean looked Dory in the eye and responded, “No, you’re MY role model for still playing!”

The City of Arlington Parks and Recreation Department received four awards from the Texas Recreation and Parks Society at its state conference in Lubbock, Texas, on March 8, 2013.

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 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 Rocamontes Memorial Skatepark, located at Randol Mill Park. Arlington’s first skate park was built with funding from Cody Rocamontes Inc., a Tony Hawk Foundation grant

awarded to CRI and a grant from the Arlington Tomorrow 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.

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 department also took home the “Park Design Exellence” award for its design of the River Legacy Parks nature playground (pictured below).

PARKS AND RECREATION AWARDS

The Parks and Recreation Department was honored to be selected as recipients of four awards

considering we were in competition against some of the best departments across Texas. The

awards are an affirmation of the hard work our staff, as well as our park board members, provide

to the community.”

Arlington Athletics Launches New Online Registration System

To improve customer convenience, the Athletics Division launched a new online registration system for all youth sports on February 1, 2013.

Customers are encouraged to use this self-service technology to improve their registration experience. SportsSignup is an Internet-based product that will accommodate registration needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, said Wendy Parker, Athletics Director.

“Customers will now be able to self-register at their convenience, receive email confirmations and update personal account information at any time. The new process will eliminate the need for customers to call us or to register by mail, fax or in person.”

Online registrations for the summer season are being accepted for all youth league sports including t-ball, coach pitch, soccer, basketball and cheerleading.

The Parks and Recreation Department is excited to streamline the software for youth sports league registrations. Users can login and create an account by visiting www.naturallyfun.org. For assistance with the new online registration process, please contact Wendy Parker at 817-459-5463 or email [email protected].

Cody Rocamontes was 15 years old and fearless.

The Martin High School sophomore would lug his skateboard everywhere, jumping steep stairs, rails and ramps without thinking twice. He and his friends dreamt of someday starting a public skate park in Arlington.

In August 2009, Cody was struck by a car and killed while walking near Interstate-20 to one of his favorite skateboarding stops, a retail parking lot.

On March 13, 2013, his dream became reality. Cody’s friends and family gathered with Arlington community members to dedicate the new Cody Rocamontes Memorial Skate Park in Randol Mill Park.

March 13th would have been Cody’s 19th birthday.

The new 5,400-square foot skatepark — which is the first in Arlington — includes skating and BMX challenges for beginner and intermediate users.

The first phase of the park includes such features as a hipped bank, a manual pad with rail, a flat bar and park builder Spohn Ranch’s signature “skateable art” pieces Curved Taco and Dragon Trail.

The second phase will include a mellow ledge, stair set with rail, pole jam, euro gap, kinked hubba, round wall and bent penny.

An estimated 18,000 people in Arlington skateboard more than once a week, and two-thirds of respondents to a city survey said they skate on Arlington streets rather than at skateparks in other cities.

Just ask 14-year-old George Talevera, of Arlington, who grew up skating on streets around the city but now hangs out at the new park almost every weekend.

“It’s a lot safer and a lot more fun,” Talevera said. “We’re just excited to have a place to skate.”

Taylor Haster, 18, of Arlington, recalled trying to track down places to skate, then being kicked out of numerous business parking lots.

“We finally have a home,” she said.

On Tuesday, skaters of all levels showed off their moves and feasted on grilled hot dogs and birthday cake for Cody. Attendees sang Happy Birthday and released orange balloons for the teenager’s favorite color.

Before a ribbon cutting, city leaders praised the work of Cody’s friends and family, who lobbied Arlington City Council and raised money to build the skate park. They even established a nonprofit, Cody Rocamontes Inc., and distributed hundreds of orange shirts all over Arlington.

“We’re here to celebrate the life of Cody,” Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck said. “We should never forget Cody or his parents, and we will be reminded of them every time we come to this park.”

BY SARAH BAHARI, City of Arlington

Cody would have been beside himself. He would have been here all the time. This is just fabulous.”

KIM GROBE, Mother of Cody Rocamontes“

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 lake in 1956 and completed the project March 31, 1957. The lake covers approximately 2,250 surface acres and has a watershed of 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. For more information call 817-459-5473.

CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS OF FREE MUSIC UNDER THE STARSThe Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts in Arlington presents 50 free outdoor concerts a year with a broad-based concert calendar of professional musical artists, from world music to jazz and country to children’s artists. Audiences can take a cultural journey exploring international rhythms one night, then sample America’s rich tapestry of musical genres the next. The Levitt presents original artists, many of them Grammy Award winners. The Children’s Concerts include fun, interactive shows with 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 108,000 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. The Levitt Pavilion is located at 100 W. Abrams St., in Founders Plaza at the corner of Abram and Center streets, directly across from City Hall.
