Park of the Week- Clarence Thompson Park

Arlington Park of the Week

Clarence Thompson Park

Corner of Brown Blvd. and Baird Farm Rd., 76011

Why I Love This Park

This used to be the park I would stop at after I dropped my oldest at school on the north side. It offers lots of shade and cute play structure for the 2-5 set, as well as a larger play structure for the older kids. There are toddler and big kid swings, a large spinning structure and lots of things to climb! The play area is covered in lots of shade, which is an added bonus!




In addition to a great play area, Clarence Thompson Park also offers loads of picnic tables and a large practice field for kicking a soccer ball or throwing a baseball.

Why I Don't Love Clarence Thompson

Because this is another neighborhood park, there are no bathrooms. Make sure your little ones go before they stop!
Baird Farm and Brown is also a very busy intersection. Although the park is set fairly far back off both roads, this is not your typical quiet neighborhood park. If you have kids that like to run (especially away from you!)- and can run quickly- this may not be your favorite spot.
