Description:
Julia Burgen Park is located between Pecan Street and Collins Street, east of UTA. Center Street runs through the park, which is located south of downtown Arlington and also surrounded by several neighborhoods. As part of the Johnson Creek Corridor Plan, Arlington plans to eventually create a series of linked linear parks that stretch from Gateway Park near the Parks at Arlington Mall up to the Richard Greene Linear Park near AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Park. The Julia Burgen Park will help eventually close the gap between Vandergriff Park and Meadowbrook Park. The park is named for former Arlington City Council member Julia Burgen, well-known for her environmental activism.
