Brantley Hinshaw Park

Two separate play areas mean the toddlers aren’t getting run over by the big kids, which honestly makes a huge difference. The splash pad is the real draw in summer — Arlington heat is no joke, and the shade trees actually give parents somewhere to sit without melting. Restrooms are on-site and the place stays clean, which isn’t something you can say about every park in the area. If you’ve got older kids who want to shoot hoops or kick a ball around after the playground, the basketball court and soccer field are right there.
