Clarence Thompson Park

Clarence Thompson Park is a public recreational area located in Arlington, Texas. The park is named after Clarence Thompson, a local developer and builder who constructed over 100 homes in Arlington and the Coronado Square Shopping Center. Thompson also served on the Planning & Zoning Commission for 12 years and was involved in various community boards.

In 2023, the park underwent significant improvements to enhance its facilities. The renovation included the installation of new playground equipment catering to children aged 5-12 and 2-5 years old.
