Ed Austin Park Holiday Youth Sports & Community Light Walk

About this adventure

Ed Austin Regional Park in Arlington hosts a lively community holiday celebration combining youth recreation and festive holiday cheer. The park's 1.75-mile paved perimeter fitness trail is decorated with solar LED luminarias, festive holiday archways, and community-crafted seasonal banners. Families can enjoy a sunset holiday fun walk, take photos with Santa near the community center, participate in holiday soccer drills and flag football challenges, and enjoy holiday treats and cider provided by local youth sports leagues. The lighted playground remains open for evening family play under the stars.
