The Southwest Nature Preserve is a 58-acre tract of undeveloped land located just south of Interstate 20 and adjacent to Bowman Springs Drive, in southwest Arlington. The Preserve has one large and two smaller ponds, is home to several significant native plant communities, and has a high bluff located on sandstone outcroppings with dramatic views. Phase I Development of the Southwest Nature Preserve will involve construction of a new lighted parking lot with 35 spaces and a controlled access entry gate. A new concrete walkway will run from the parking lot to the lower pond. The walkway will lead to a pond side board walk that will feature a fishing pier and built-in benches. A terraced outdoor seating/education area will be located off the new walkway and will over-look the west end of the lower pond. New picnic tables will also be included in an area adjacent to the new walkway.
