Forest Street Triangle

Located across the street from where the original 3M complex was, this triangle is on the south side of East 7th Street, west of Forest Street.

Arlington Playground (and Sue's Park)

Between Edgerton and Greenbrier and between Maryland and Geranium, this playground was recently expanded and includes a public library attached to the new recreation center building. The former Sue's Park (with its fountain and picnic table) at Rose and Edgerton was eliminated in the expansion, but may still be on some maps.

Maryland Westminster Pond

This small fenced-in holding pond was created during recent work on Interstate I-35. South of Maryland, west of Westminster, it is in a conspicuous location, yet easily overlooked.

Westminster Mississippi Stormwater Pond

Located beside Interstate I-35, this pond is south of Hyacinth Street and west of Westminster. It appears to have been created as part of a recent highway upgrade.

Arlington/Arkwright Park and Pond

Named for the roads at its northwest corner, this park is best known for its large off-leash dog park. There are the other usual facilities and, across Arkwright there is a large holding pond that does not appear to be part of the actual park.



McDonough Rec Center

Not to be confused with McDonough Park, which is on the opposite end of town, this Rec Center is just off Interstate I-35, at Wheelock Parkway and Klainert Street. When the photo was taken, there was a major construction project underway.

Wheelock Parkway Garden Triangles

There are two triangles where Parkway Drive intersects Wheelock Parkway at Edgerton Street. One has recently had a rather nice garden planted. There is a second pair of triangles, listed separately, where Wheelock intersects Greenbrier and Walsh streets.
