Another attraction of Texarkana is the beautiful Spring Lake Park. At the center of the 145-acre landscape is a spring- fed lake surrounded by open green spaces, playgrounds, walking trails, a disc golf course, and covered picnic areas. It is the perfect place to spend a Texarkana weekend. Also in the park is Swanger Sports Complex, which hosts Texarkana Dixie Baseball, and Dobson Field, home of The Texas A&M– Texarkana Eagles. On a hot summer day, the park’s Rotary Splash Pad provides cooling relief with its 18 water structures. There is even a place for man’s best friend to enjoy a safe and secure outdoor location to run and play in the Kylee Sullivan Pet Safe Dog Park. Whether it is fishing in the lake or watching Movies in the Park, Spring Lake Park is the perfect outdoor retreat. You find even more opportunities traveling around town including locations for a day of golf and plenty of outdoor activities to keep you busy year-round. New Haven Golf Club, Oak Grove Golf Club, Northridge Country Club, and Texarkana Country Club all offer beautiful options for the most enthusiastic golfer. All around town, golfers can take their pick between a variety of courses. Finally, Texarkana offers great choices for the sportsman and hunter of the family. The fishing at Millwood Lake and Lake Wright Patman cannot be beat. These lakes are perfect for hiking, camping, and swimming as well. A day at the lake is always a good day and Texarkana has several beautiful options to choose from. From Texarkana’s inception, the downtown area has been at its heart. Driven by the arts, downtown is alive with the murals of local artists. Downtown holds two entertainment districts, and the energy can be felt once a month at Downtown Live hosted by Main Street Texarkana where local artists and downtown restaurants host a night dedicated to the culture that can only be found in TXK. Downtown Texarkana is also home to four museums, the Texarkana Regional Arts Center and historical buildings that tell the story of Texarkana’s past. Fully restored in 1979, the beautiful and historic Perot Theatre plays host to a variety of spectacular concerts and theatre productions including Texarkana Community Ballet’s The Nutcracker. It is also the home of The Texarkana Symphony Orchestra, which enhances and richly expands Texarkana’s musical culture.
