News Notes
Outdoors

Expected to begin next spring, the project will transform the decommissioned golf course into a nature-based space for recreational use with walking + bike trails and an overlook pavilion.
Development
  • Redevelopment for the Fort Worth Community Arts Center is delayed again. The development teams competing for the contract — Garfield Public/Private LLC + Goldenrod Companies — asked the city for additional time to work on their bids. The city gave the companies until April to submit their final proposals. (Fort Worth Report)
Kids
  • There’s a new kid-sized immersive exhibit at Arlington’s River Legacy Nature Center. Kids can climb, crawl, and slide on treetops, or become a conductor for the day and work on the Union Pacific engine. The exhibit called Forever Forest is open until Saturday, Feb. 10.
