Storm Update

Let’s be careful out there! We sustained a lot of damage in the storm. Our crews have been out to evaluate and install protective barriers around impacted areas. For your safety, do not cross the fences or caution tape in our playgrounds, bridges, walking paths and park areas. While we appreciate Arlington's "Can-Do" attitude, debris along streams and creeks will be cleaned up by Park staff and contractors, please do not attempt to move, play or handle such debris.

Arlington Food Assistance Center Donation

As part of Arlington’s 49th Annual Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Jan. 14 at Wakefield High School (1325 S. Dinwiddie Street), non-perishable food items will be collected to donate to Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC). To collect as many donations as possible, we’re inviting community groups to organize collections to deliver to the event. Please fill out the form below to register your group.

Donations may be brought in by individuals and tallied by event staff or can be collected ahead of time and brought altogether as a mass donation.

The group that collects the most donations will be announced on the Department of Parks and Recreation Facebook page and website. Let’s carry on in Dr. King’s footsteps and support our community members in need.
