Mosaic Park — Attraction in Arlington

This park had so much potential, but Arlington really fell short when they redid it a couple of years ago. There is no shade and the surface gets very hot. There are lots of hills that the kids can play on, but the equipment itself is lacking and not very big. The park itself is in a busy traffic area, yet there is no fencing around the park and because of the hills it’s easy to lose sight of your child(ren); you have to be a helicopter parent at this park. As for the “spray ground”, as Arlington calls it, when it first opened it was really great. However, now in 2023 it’s closed every morning for “maintenance”, yet the water barely shoots a foot out of the ground. They’ve been doing maintenance for what will now be a second year and still can’t seem to figure out how to make it work. So, if you have a very young toddler they’ll probably enjoy it, but it will be very boring for any kid 2 or older. So disappointing. The parking situation here is a headache and honestly the park just isn’t...

There are at least 14 benches that i counted today around the park for adults to sit comfortably while their children play. This park is always busy when the weather is nice, but in a good way. My kids love to bring their scooters. They call it the scooter park because it is fun to ride on the hills, but I don't have to worry about them crashing. The splash pad in the summer is really nice, too. Lots of seating for adults in that side of the park and the water feature extends really far. No bathrooms, but yes to drinking fountains. And enough walkways that an adult could do some laps...

Really neat place! My son loved the bouncy rubber floors & a lot of the kiddos enjoyed sliding on them because it had rained & the ground was still wet. This is a very well thought out park- so kudos to whoever designed it! On another note, we did find some nasty graffiti on the right side of the climbing wall in front of the little field, but I covered it up with some kid-friendly vinyl stickers depicting trucks & boats, so I'm sorry for whoever has to clean that up, but racist slurs have no place anywhere in our communities. Fun experience,...
