Downtown Outdoors: Downtown Arlington Murals Celebrate the Arts, Culture, Music and Community

Looking for new routes for your daily walk, run or ride? Welcome to Downtown Arlington, our new favorite place to explore and do more outdoors. 

Because there are so many little gems and hidden treasures throughout our historic and cultural district, we think the best way to go exploring is to take a “connect the dots” approach! Discover murals celebrating the arts in the heart of Downtown Arlington, the City's official State of Texas cultural district.

Let’s Go Outside and Play!  

These days especially, there are so many beneficial reasons to regularly step out into the sunshine. Research shows that social distancing in outdoor spaces is much more effective in curbing the spread of COVID-19 as compared to indoors. Spending time and exercising outside also provide all kinds of health benefits.

Stay tuned for future posts about other routes you can take as you stroll or roll through Downtown Arlington!
