On June 17, 2006, Arlington celebrated the completion of the Fort Ethan Allen Park Improvement Project with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

County Board members and community leaders were on hand for the event. There were presentations on historic artifacts uncovered during construction and the history of Fort Ethan Allen; and displays highlighting the park’s unique design features.

The ribbon-cutting completes the lengthy process of moving the Fort Ethan Allen Community Canine Area from its previous location along Old Glebe Road. The relocation restores public access to the fort’s historic earthworks and allows for the future interpretive use of the site.

The project includes the County’s newest and most innovative community canine area, playground improvements, streetscape improvements, site accessibility improvements, and landscaping.
