coNNectiNG WitH tHe Natural WorlD Take a moment and think about the first spring day after a long winter. The sun is shining, warming your body. You can hear the birds singing in the trees. You notice that you’re not the only one taking advantage of this beautiful day. There are suddenly people all around you taking advantage of being outside after the cold has kept them indoors for far too long. The bright sky and warm air seems to lift our spirits. We feel better, even more relaxed. That first day of spring feeling perhaps has no rival. But why exactly do we get such a “natural high” from this connection with nature after a long hiatus? And is there a way to extend this short-term feeling so that it becomes a long-term attitude?

Getting your “outdoorphins”Endorphins are chemicals that are typically released in the body after exercise and produce a feeling of well-being. “Outdoorphins” is a term that people having started using to define why they feel so good from being active outside. Scientists have their own term to help explain why connecting with nature feels good. It’s called biophilia, which is the innate affinity humans have for other living things. Like most other processes that happen inside our bodies, biophilia’s roots can be found in our ancient ancestors, human beings that had to hunt and gather in order to survive.

“Greenness, water, and plants relax us, possibly because they signal access to food and shelter,” said Seattle-based environmental psychologist Judith Heerwagen, PhD.

The benefits of connecting with nature in today’s world are plentiful. Numerous studies have shown that just by spending time in natural surroundings, people report having reduced stress, anger and depression. Spending time in nature also helps improve mood while lowering blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and stress hormone levels.

A report published by the USDA Forest Service in 2010 even stated that, “forest visits may also strengthen our immune system by increasing the activity and number of natural killer cells that destroy cancer cells.” Still other studies have shown that fragrances found in various plants and flowers have the ability to reduce stress when inhaled by changing gene activity and blood chemistry.

Spending time in nature helps improve mood while lowering blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and stress hormone levels.

For the childrenPerhaps no other group can benefit more from making a connection with nature than children. Author Richard Louv, who wrote the bestsellers Last Child in the Woods and The Nature Principle, coined the term “nature-deficit disorder” to describe the loss of connection children increasingly feel with the natural world. He argues that nature-deficit disorder affects, “health, spiritual well-being, and many other areas, including [people’s] ability to feel ultimately alive.”

This disorder is due to the lack of open space, increasingly busy schedules, an emphasis on team sports over individualized play and exploration, and competition from electronic media. The cure?

“We need to figure out ways to increase nature time even as technology increases,” said Louv. “It has to be a conscious decision.”

Arlington has more than 50 miles of hike and bike trails. If you’re a mountain bike enthusiast, there are more than 10 miles of cross country trails that, according to the Dallas Off-Road Bicycling Association (DORBA), are “some of the best around.”

Tierra Verde Golf Club was the first golf course in Texas and the first municipal course in the world to be certified as an Audubon Signature Sanctuary. Not just for golfers, the course offers a full-service restaurant with scenic views and nature tours throughout the year.

Ever bought the “longest lasting battery” only to find out that it did not last as long as you thought it would? How about the latest and greatest exercise machine, and a month after you purchased it, your laundry is hung and neatly folded all over it? Have you ever felt totally plugged into and attached to a treadmill?

Kurt Reichenstein, one of the newest APRD fitness instructors, doesn’t believe in becoming fit by being attached to equipment. He believes you should unplug from the machines and connect to your own power to become physically fit. Kurt has joined the City of Arlington Parks and Recreation Department and will be teaching a new class called From Couch to 5K. He believes that every person has within them the power to fill their own battery, and eventually accomplish the goal of finishing a 5K race. “It doesn’t matter your age or your size. It doesn’t matter if you have never run a race. The goal is to finish and I can give you the skills to accomplish that goal. My greatest passion is training people to finish”, says Kurt.

Kurt will teach each class participant all the basics of starting and finishing a 5K including how to fill out the application, where to pin on the race number, what to wear, how to warm up and even a special way to tie your shoes. He will help each student set their distance goals in a manner that will build their confidence and bring out each person’s competitive spirit. Kurt believes, “the most important thing is the person who is encouraging you. If it is not fun, no one is going to do it! I won’t ask anyone in the class to do anything I wouldn’t do. And, I only want to do things that are fun.”

Encouraging individuals to make fitness a part of their lives is very important to Kurt. He has been encouraging all age groups for decades. Kurt was an elementary Physical Education Teacher for 33 years and has a Master’s Degree in Recreation and Leisure Sciences. He has taught fitness classes, including within the City of Arlington, on and off for almost 40 years. Kurt has also finished multiple marathons and now officiates at local races.

When he is not running races and teaching other people how to become fit, Kurt spends his time creating whimsical art. He draws his inspiration for each piece from the world around him. “I like to think out of the box. My art is done in my downtime. I guess you could say that it is the time of the day when I unplug from fitness and connect to the world around me. But, it is important that I connect to the world with uplifting art”, Kurt says.

Each of Kurt’s art pieces captures a moment with a whimsical and touching interpretation, usually depicting children and animals with big descriptive eyes and happy faces. Some of his art has been used as thank you cards, greeting and note cards. They range from seasonal pictorials to depictions of current events.

“My art lets me look at the world like a kid would. Too many kids are connected to computers and technology today. They don’t use their imagination and they don’t play outside. I believe you can teach a kid to become fit by letting them use their imagination, and they don’t even realize they are getting exercise. Let them become their favorite baseball player and tell them to swing the bat like that player. Pick up a golf club and swing it like Tiger Woods. Don’t sit at a video game and use your thumbs while pretending to be an athlete. Just get outside and do it!”, says Kurt.

Kurt wants to see adults getting outdoors to become fit. “You have got to train your mind, muscles and whole body. The treadmill does half the work for you. You have got to put one foot in front of the other. It doesn’t matter if you have to start out walking, add a little jogging and then eventually teaching yourself to run”, Kurt says. He encourages class members to bring a buddy and plans to set a pace for each individual. Every level of walker/runner is welcome and according to Kurt, every participant will learn the pride of competition. He says, “My favorite thing is when one of my students who started out as a walker eventually wins their age bracket in a race. But you got to get off that couch and get out and do it.”

CAMP KITSU


im Baggett knows Arlington sports. Not only is he the Arlington Parks and Recreation Department (APRD) Adult Sports Manager, but he’s been playing sports in Arlington since the 1950s.

“The City of Arlington got into sports well over 75 years ago. It began with a baseball program that played its games at Meadowbrook Park before Randol Mill was developed. Two youth baseball fields and two senior baseball fields along with two teenage baseball and two fast pitch fields were built in the mid-fifties. As fast pitch participation began to wane and slow pitch softball began to overtake the numbers, the two teenage fields became the first slow pitch complex in Arlington in latter 1960s early 1970s.”

But while city sports offerings may have started with baseball and softball, today the city has leagues in sports across the spectrum. “The City of Arlington also provides both youth and adult basketball, youth soccer, adult (men’s, women’s and co-ed) and youth (co-ed) volleyball, adult inline hockey, adult and youth kickball (co-ed for both), adult men’s flag football, youth cheerleading, and youth T-ball coach pitch and kid pitch baseball (co-ed),” said Baggett.

With that many offerings in its lineup, many organizations, such as local churches and businesses, look to the Arlington leagues to get a little exercise and also maintain some fun rivalries.

“For years we have offered a Monday night men’s church league. First Baptist Church and Fielder Road Baptist Church have been a part of the program since the beginning and theirs was an early rivalry. Business rivalries have come and gone over the years, restaurants versus restaurants, General Motors teams versus Bell Helicopter teams, etc.”

We have a team that has been with us for over 20 years who started as seniors in high school playing with their dads. During the week of Halloween they dress up in character to play the game, from Forest Gump to Babe Ruth, to a sniper in the outfield decked out in full camo to super heroes. They all enjoy playing,” said Baggett.

This summer, two popular choices for adult team sports are softball and kickball. To see the complete sport lineup and registration dates, turn to pg. 25.

can get back to where you belong. The team has the expertise to perform total knee replacements, hand

surgery, hip replacement, shoulder surgery, rehabilitation services and more to help you return to your

onnie and Don Adams said they hope everyone will find the kind of love they have.

The couple met four years ago at the Arlington Senior Recreation Center on New York Avenue. They saw each other at events and often played games at the same table, Don Adams said.

He asked Bonnie Adams to the Ennis Bluebonnet Festival on April 17, 2010, where they had their first date.

“I think he was pretty confident I would say yes,” Bonnie said.

Pam Mitchell, an administrative aid at the center, said she discovered they were dating during an outing to the State Fair.

“We got back to the gate and she was real giddy, almost like a schoolgirl,” Mitchell said. “They were holding hands walking back to the van.”

The pair married in October 2011 at a small ceremony in their home in Arlington. In November, they honeymooned on a cruise to the Caribbean. Now they enjoy a relaxed life, Don said, and spend their time watching old movies, reading poetry, listening to music and going to

museums. Don said the key to a successful relationship goes beyond the words people say.

“You have to care about the person and know they care about you,” he said. “You have to really express that and show it and believe it, not just say it.”

Bonnie’s advice to couples is simple.

“Life is short,” she said. “Go for the gusto.”

It’s hard to find a more beautiful course than the award-winning Tierra Verde Golf Club. Tierra Verde is the first golf course in Texas and the first municipal course in the world to be certified as an Audubon Signature Sanctuary. Walk onto the first tee and enter an environment where golf and nature come together in harmony.

Opened in 1998, and carved from 250 acres of secluded terrain, the course’s unsurpassed layout encompasses a variety of natural settings and offers an outstanding playing experience on every hole. The course has been host to many prestigious events, including the Byron Nelson Qualifying Tournament on multiple occasions.

Tierra Verde was named the top golf course in the DFW Metroplex in 2012 and 2013 by Avid Golfer magazine.*

Each hole has five sets of tees, sculpted fairways, strategically placed sand bunkers and water hazards - all accented by stately trees and beautiful native grasses.

The facility features a state-of-the-art golf learning center, a lighted driving range, three-hole practice course and large chipping and putting green complex. Also offered are lessons and clinics taught by PGA/LPGA professionals and apprentices, an outdoor pavilion and full-service restaurant, Ventana Grille, that complement every event from small corporate outings to large fundraising tournaments.

*Public-Premium Category

Named after life-long resident of Arlington Chester W. Ditto, Ditto Golf Course is located in north Arlington, just 15 minutes from the DFW airport and near the heart of Arlington’s Entertainment District, featuring the Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys and Six Flags.

As a long-standing favorite among golfers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Chester Ditto is 18-holes of challenging golf blending plush fairways narrowed by trees and accented with strategically placed sand bunkers and landing areas.

A driving range, practice putting green and chipping area are offered to complete one’s golfing experience.

The clubhouse offers snack bar concessions and a full line pro shop with today’s most popular equipment and apparel. Chester Ditto also offers tournaments and private and group lessons taught by PGA Professionals and Apprentices.

Chester Ditto was named one of Avid Golfer’s Top 50 DFW public courses in 2013.

The course is currently in the Master Planning process for significant improvements to both the golf course and clubhouse. To review the plans and give your input, please visit: ArlingtonGolf.com/cwditto_plan

Arlington’s tradition of outstanding golf began in the 1920’s with Meadowbrook Park Golf Course. Conveniently located just east of downtown Arlington, the golf course provides an excellent choice for families and leagues.

The golf course is the centerpiece of Arlington’s first city park. Arlington purchased the 52-acre site in 1923 and it was sponsored by the Arlington Rotary Club.

The site includes picnic grounds and the tree-filled nine-hole golf course. Many of the holes feature vistas of nearby AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Meadowbrook Park is the perfect facility to learn the game of golf and sharpen short-game skills. The 9-Hole, par-33 layout consists of six par 4s, 250 to 300 yards in length, and three par 3s, approximately 150 yards in length.

The course can be easily walked or played under time constraints and has a long-standing commitment to beginning adult and junior golfers. Golf legends Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson once led golf clinics here.

Its small greens and narrow fairways are designed to challenge every level of player.

The clubhouse offers a full line pro shop, concessions, and golf cart rentals. Exclusive facility rental opportunities are available for both golf and non-golf outdoor activities.

With a long-standing commitment to environmental enhancement and preservation, Meadowbrook Park Golf Course is like a walk in the park for the whole family!

LEVEL ASSESSMENTThe City of Arlington’s Learn to Swim Program follows the American Red Cross Swim and Water Safety Program. We assess each child on the first day of class to help with accurate placement of the child in the correct level. If possible, we will move the child to a level that best suits his or her skill level. If a child is registered in the incorrect class, every effort will be made to place them into a class of an appropriate level but cannot be guaranteed.

We ask parents to help assist us with registering their child in the correct level by talking to their child’s instructor at the end of the session and/or following the guidelines below.

For Water SaFety


The City of Arlington unveiled plans in 2011 to acquire weather-damaged homes near the Rush Creek area, and transform the lots into public park land.

Chronic flooding from Hurricane Hermine in 2010 presented an opportunity for the City of Arlington to purchase affected homes and condominiums. These properties would be demolished to expand park acreage at Clarence Foster Park, Kelly Park, and Rush Creek Linear Park.

“The Rush Creek Mitigation project will benefit Clarence Foster Park neighbors in several ways,” said Parks Project Manager Kurt Beilharz. “The Park will be getting a completely new playground with shade structures and a new drinking fountain. The old exercise equipment that was in the park will be replaced as well.

“The old asphalt hike and bike trail will be replaced with a new 8’ wide, lighted, looped concrete trail that will connect to the existing trails in Kelley Park and Rush Creek Linear Parks. A new lighted parking lot with an electronically controlled gate will also be installed on the south side of the park.”

The “Rush Creek Flood Mitigation Project” contract was bid out on September 24, 2013. The $2,000,000 project called for more than 20 acres of former residential land to be re-purposed into park property.

Free MuSic uNDer tHe StarSThe Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts in Arlington presents more than 50 free outdoor concerts a year with a broad-based concert calendar of professional musical artists, from world music to jazz and home-grown Texas country to hot Indie artists. The Levitt presents original artists, many of them Grammy Award winners. Our Children’s Concerts include fun, interactive shows with award-winning artists who teach young audiences gentle lessons about good manners, creativity, self-esteem and the world around them in a fun way.

Last concert season, the Levitt Pavilion attracted more than 123,000 people to Downtown Arlington. The Levitt Pavilion experience is about building community as families, school groups, entire neighborhoods and people from all parts of our area join side by side in a safe, fun, casual atmosphere to enjoy live music together. Many of these families and groups would not have the opportunity to experience the magic of live music if they had to pay ticket prices.

The Levitt Pavilion gives our community an accessible gathering place for free music open to everyone – all ages, all ethnicities, all neighborhoods and all income levels. Levitt Pavilion Arlington brings music and the performing arts to Arlington in a way thousands are responding to – available to everyone to enjoy under the stars.

Lake Arlington is a municipally owned multi-purpose reservoir used for municipal and industrial water supply, and for recreational purposes. The reservoir is located on Village Creek in Tarrant County at the western edge of Arlington. The City of Arlington, recognizing the need for additional water supply, began construction of the lake in 1956 and completed the project March 31, 1957. The lake covers approximately 2,250 surface acres and has a watershed of 143 square miles. The service spillway overflow elevation is 550 feet above mean sea level.

Lake Arlington has various facilities for your enjoyment. There are two parks located along Lake Arlington’s eastern shore, Richard Simpson Park (6300 W. Arkansas Ln.) to the north and Bowman Springs Park (7003 Poly Webb Rd.) to the south. Special attractions at these parks include boat launches, picnic areas, BBQ grills and restrooms. Pavilions are available for rent at both parks. Richard Simpson Park also has the Lake Arlington Activity Room, which can be reserved for private functions. A recreation permit is required to place, operate or keep any boat or other craft on Lake Arlington, including rowboats, canoes, kayaks, motorboats, sailboats, barges, personal watercraft and sailboards. For more information call 817-459-5473.

FOOD TRUCK FRIDAYS MARCH 21 - APRIL 18 • 11 AM - 2 PM • FOUNDERS PLAZA | 100 W. ABRAM ST.“Food Truck Fridays” started March 21 and continues through Friday, April 18, 2014 at Founders Plaza, located at 100 West Abram St., in downtown Arlington. Enjoy the beautiful weather and great food from some of the top food trucks in DFW.

The food truck craze that continues to sweep across the nation has officially hit the DFW Metroplex and your Arlington Parks and Recreation Department. The APRD has created a way for residents and really anyone who is hankering for some awesome food truck eats and treats to get your fill.

“We wanted to do something where people could enjoy good food at the Founders Plaza park lawn with their friends,” said Rental and Lake Services Manager Michael Debrecht. “Different food trucks each week will be there to sell their wares.”

Based on great turnouts during the first few weeks of the five-week pilot program, the Arlington Parks and Recreation department is looking to extend the days and hours the trucks are available, as well as increase the number of locations they serve. Stay tuned to naturallyfun.org for upcoming dates and additional information!
