School is out, the sun is out, and it is time for you to get outdoors! June 9 is National Get Outdoors Day (GO Day) and Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) is here to tell you how to join the movement by participating in Twin Points Park Kite Festival and enjoy GO Day to the fullest!
TRWD is dedicated to providing the communities of North Texas areas where people can enjoy the outdoors and encourage Texans to participate in healthy and active outdoor fun. We manage a series of sites, in co-op with others, that have a variety of outdoors activities so that everyone has an opportunity to enjoy North Texas’ nature, including your dogs!
Come visit us at Eagle Mountain Park for dawn to dusk hiking enjoying some of the most beautiful Texas nature, join us for a swim and sand castle lessons at Twin Points Park, or take in sunsets views of Trinity Trails on horseback.
