Prepare Your Taxes
With the Arlington
Public Library
Once again in 2019, the
Arlington Public Library is
partnering with AARP to help
Arlington residents with a
variety of free tax resources.
While Library staff cannot offer
financial or legal advice, they’re
glad to help residents find
information.
“Every year I come to the
Library to find what I need
to do my taxes,” says Helen, a
long-time Arlington resident.
Patrons can visit AARP’s Tax
Aide from February 1 to April
15 at all Arlington Public
Library locations. This free
service is aimed at seniors
and low- to moderate-income
families and is available by
appointment only.

Harris Road Park Now Open in Southeast Arlington
A new neighborhood park with a concrete loop hike and bike trail, nature-
themed playground, picnic tables, benches and other amenities is now open in
southeast Arlington.
Harris Road Park, located at 907 W. Harris Road between Cooper Street and
Matlock Road, also includes a lighted parking lot with automated access gate,
a bicycle rack, a drinking fountain near the playground, permanent irrigation
system, open areas, landscape improvements and shade trees.
The 12-acre park features shaded playground equipment that offers
educational nature panels and musical instruments for children to experience.
In addition to swings, the park has two play areas specially geared for children
ages 2 to 5 years and 5 to 12 years. The playground area leads to a path, through
the shade areas, to offer varied nature-play opportunities.
This project,
which aligns
with the
City Council
priority to
Champion Great
Neighborhoods,
was funded
through park
impact fees. A
park dedication
ceremony is
planned for early
summer 2019.
