Water problems at Forrest St Park are currently impacting the Crossing Amphitheater, Market & Community Garden. This WILL impact the Market this Saturday (9/07), so porta-potties will be provided during the event.
Enjoy. Don't Destroy. Our staff works hard to ensure quality facilities for your enjoyment.
But vandalism in our parks is becoming an almost daily, costly occurrence.
Forrest Street Park has had landscaping pulled up, tire marks in the parking and under the Market pavilion, and even a storm drain cover removed and dropped down the hole, which is dangerous.
You can help - if you have information or see anything suspicious, report it to the Sheriff's Office non-emergency number (901-379-7625).
In addition, since all Town parks close at sunset, the Sheriff's Office will be increasing their patrols and installing a Sky Cop to keep an eye on after-hours activities. Vandals will be prosecuted.
These amenities belong to us ALL, so lets work together to keep them safe and beautiful.
The Arlington Crossing Market is this coming Saturday! Be sure to make your way down to the Crossing pavilion between 8am & Noon. We're expecting a full house of great vendors (listed below)!
Town facilities are CLOSED today in observation of the Labor Day holiday, including the Library and Senior Center. ☝️ Reminder - it's also a trash service holiday, so pick up will be shifted forward one day.
Due to the passing of our Schools Superintendent and the scheduled Celebration of Life on September 3rd, our Board meeting for Tuesday, September 3rd has been cancelled. The Board will meet next on October 7th at the regularly scheduled time.
REMINDER - Chester Street Bridges - the bridge north of Pinckley Rd will re-open today and the bridge south of Pinckley Rd will close today for repairs.
As a result, residents in Rolling Hills Farms will now be directed north toward Milton Wilson. Anyone south of Rolling Hills Farms will continue to be detoured to Airline Road.
Construction Updates - The Chester Street bridge replacement north of Pinkley is wrapping up and the bridge is scheduled to re-open next Wednesday (8/28)! So travel north to Milton Wilson will return.
Once the northbound bridge opens, work will begin to improve a bridge just south of Pinckley. So be prepared for a shift in traffic patterns during work on the new bridge.
Time for the Arlington Crossing Market this coming Saturday! Be sure to make your way down to the Crossing Pavilion between 8am and Noon. We're expecting a full house of great vendors (listed below)!
Exciting News! We're happy to announce Arlington was awarded a Local Parks & Recreation Fund (LPRF) Grant for our Forrest Street Park project.
The Town applied for the LPRF grant earlier this year. The project allows us update Forrest Street Park by installing sports field lights for all seven of the fields there. This allows expanded use of this very popular park by Town residents by offering night games and practices.
The need for sports field lighting came up early and often during development of the Town's Parks & Recreation Master Plan, showing a strong demand for lighting. So we're excited to be able to move forward with this project and expect to break ground in Spring 2025!
Music on the Square is this Saturday! Music from Hair Spray Nation starts at 7pm. Food will be available for purchase. The performance is FREE and open to the public. Hope to see you there!
(As an outdoor concert, schedule may change based on the weather. Updates will be posted on the Town website and FB)
Weather permitting, the many paving projects around Town should be complete tomorrow. This includes: Mary Alice, Forrest Grove, Snyder Plantation, Forrest St, and Milton Wilson.
You may see crews finishing final touch ups items, but that work should not cause disruptions like the full road paving project. Thank you for your patience and support during this process.
Summer Reading pays dividends! Thanks to local sponsors, our summer reading participants were treated with free soccer tickets last month. Kids & their families enjoyed the game, and our Arlington Library even got a shout out on the scoreboard!
ROAD CONSTRUCTION - Paving work is still ongoing around Town. Please DO NOT park on these streets during the paving process; it only slows progress. Each area will have a 3-stage process of patching, milling, then a final pave.
Here's a snapshot of where work is ongoing or planned (updated):
- FORREST GROVE Subdivision - workers are currently finishing the final pave now, and should be complete by Monday.
- MARY ALICE Subdivision - work started to patch/mill/pave this subdivision yesterday.
- FORREST ST (between Chester & Milton Wilson) - patching and milling will start TODAY. Final Paving will start after Mary Alice is completed.
Arlington Crossing Market - tomorrow morning! Be sure to make your way down to the Crossing Pavilion between 8am and Noon. We're expecting 4 food trucks and a full house of great vendors!
