The Sesquicentennial Tree Planting at Dream Park caps off a yearlong, citywide effort honoring Arlington\u2019s 150 years, which averaged 150 new trees a month through community giveaways, new plantings and replacement trees, all planted during optimal times for long-term health.\u00a0The 95-gallon Chinquapin Oak will be planted on the west side of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arlingtontx.gov\/Parks-Places\/Parks-Trails\/Park-Finder\/Rotary-Dream-Park\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Opens in a new window\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Rotary Dream Park<\/a>, one of the gateways to Downtown and near where Arlington got its start along the rail line in 1876, on Texas Arbor Day.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the tree planting, officials and community members will dedicate and install a special time capsule. Packed with items donated by numerous local organizations, the time capsule captures the diverse people, places, and experiences that define Arlington in 2026. The capsule is set to be opened in 2126, when Arlington celebrates its 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>Made possible with generous support from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arlingtontx.gov\/City-Services\/Arlington-Tomorrow-Foundation\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Opens in a new window\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Arlington Tomorrow Foundation<\/a>, these projects ensure a lasting green legacy and a preserved snapshot of history for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>Event Details<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nWhat: City of Arlington 150th Anniversary Signature Tree Planting &amp; Time Capsule Ceremony&#13;<br \/>\nWhen: 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, 2026&#13;<br \/>\nWhere: Rotary Dream Park, 100 E.
