Big changes are ahead for Richard Simpson Park at Lake Arlington. The Richard Simpson Phase II project, set to be complete by next summer, will bring a new fishing pier, a nature-themed playground and a picnic pavilion near the shore, landscaping and parking lot improvements, and a trail extension that will feature fitness equipment and a scenic lake overlook. Arlington residents approved funding for improvements to this nine-acre park in 2018.
