As spring unfurls its green tendrils in Arlington, the Parks & Recreation department is rolling out a series of events to get folks out and about in the balmy weather. Various activities throughout April are on the docket, designed to cater to various interests and age groups, as Arlington Parks & Recreation reported. Tomorrow, residents can get a glance—and give feedback—at the future Woodland West Pool during an Open House at Dottie Lynn Recreation Center from 5-7 PM.

For those looking to spend a night under the stars, nothing quite captures the essence of outdoor living like the Tents & Tales Campout on Friday, as per the same source. Families can settle in for a night at River Legacy Park with a hot dog dinner, campfire s'mores, and a good old-fashioned camping sing-along. The campout begins at 4 PM and ends the next morning.

Arlington gearheads and dog lovers are in for a treat on April 12, as Cars & K9s takes over Dottie Lynn's. Slated for a two-hour window starting at 10 AM, the event promises an exhibit of classic and modern cars alongside canine friends. Registration is required by April 9th for those showcasing their vehicles, but attendance is gratis for spectators, as revealed on the Arlington Parks & Recreation event page.

The younger and the young-at-heart may find their spring spirit at the Bunny Hops & Spring Snapshots soiree, happening April 12 at the East Library & Recreation Center. Between 10 AM and 12:30 PM, families can engage in some Easter craft-making or grab a photo with the Easter Bunny. A discount is available for those opting for only the spring-themed snapshots. You can register to ensure your spot for this seasonally festive occasion or just "capture beautiful family photos," as touted by the official Arlington Parks & Recreation announcement.
