    Lake Arlington is a great place to go for a walk or jog in 3 seasons. Clear paved walking path and side for joggers alike are around the entire lake. There is ample free parking as well. They also have a cute little snack shop to have a coffee or light bite. They also have little boats you can take out for a rental fee. There is an abundance of wildlife to see and watch while you’re walking. If you’re trying to get your steps in for the day, this is a nice change of pace from your regular paths! See more..

    We had an awesome time with friends. The racetrack has beautifully maintained grounds. We enjoyed going down to the Paddocks to get a first look at the horses. We would then place a bet and then go down to the rail to watch the race. We love being close to the track when the horses run past the finish line. It’s so exciting when the horse you choose Wins!!!! After the race, we love watching the jockey in the Winner circle and then watching him give goggles to a very excited spectator. We enjoyed having lunch upstairs overlooking the Paddock. Thanks Arlington Racetrack for the wonderful memories of watching such beautiful and fast horses. Amazing experience. See more..
