Richard Simpson Park is a 9-acre Arlington city park offering one of only two public access points to Lake Arlington. The facility features a well-maintained multi-lane boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, fishing boats, and recreational vessels. This is an excellent starting point for paddlers looking to explore the 10-mile paddling trail on Village Creek and Lake Arlington.
Beyond the boat ramp, Richard Simpson Park provides several amenities to support a full day on the water, including floating docks, picnic areas, grills, restrooms, and a lake office. The park is popular with both fishing and recreational boating communities. As one of the most accessible public launches on Lake Arlington, this site is particularly convenient for paddlers seeking a developed facility with supporting infrastructure.
