Treepoint is one of the newer parks in Arlington - small and packed with family usability. Many people call this neighborhood playground the butterfly park, and it's easy to see why.
As you walk up, you encounter a huge caterpillar walkway that turns into some climbing hills (his head). Just past the entrance is an irresistable to climb butterfly.
The play structure itself is geared for younger children (no monkey bars or high falls). It has several climbing structures with slides and poles. It, too is butterfly themed, with
There are several spinning apparatuses and a two-person teeter totter. Also, two baby swings and two big kid swings. There is also a tiny walking trail (paved) and a little three-station work-out area for grown ups, so you could do some sit-ups while supervising playtime. :)
The piece of equipment that my own children (and the friends that met us there) wanted to repeatedly be on was the 'giant swing' - a sort of conical trash-can lid attached to ropes. Three or four kids could lay on it and swing or we got 7 kids easily sitting on it. What fun!
The only drawbacks to this fantastic park is lack of bathroom and substantial shade. The structures have shade built in, but there are no trees, and the shade moves depending upon times. This park is out of the question in the summer!
Treepoint Park is a neighborhood park, located near 287 and Little School Road - kind of on the edge of Arlington and Kennedale.
