Smokey Point Community Park opened in May 2025 with an overarching vision to create a community space where concerts, vendor fairs, and programmed events could be held and bring the community together. We’re grateful for the positive reception the project has received from the community!
Features of the park include an entry and gathering plaza space with historical interpretive and gateway signage, a stage and picnic area, restrooms, playground, parking, and a measured walking track around a large flexible oval field. These spaces provided much needed public infrastructure for active and passive recreation and flexible space that could be easily programmed for a variety of community events. The plaza and stage were designed to host concerts and farmers markets while the playground and walking path will provide opportunities for multi-generational activities. Future roadway access on the east side of the park also provides space for food trucks to park for community events. The west end of the park will be developed as part of the City of Arlington Smokey Point Blvd Corridor Project that seeks to improve safety and support future growth for small businesses and residents.
