ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE

Climb and zip through the trees at new adventure park in Arlington

In time for spring break fun and adventures, two new, high-flying zipline and ropes courses have opened at Arlington's River Legacy Park East. The city’s parks and recreation department teamed up with Go Ape, a nationally renowned zipline and adventure park company, for the new attractions, which opened March 3.

The new Go Ape Zipline and Adventure Park includes two ropes-adventure courses: the Treetop Adventure and Treetop Journey.

The Treetop Adventure is a three-hour, high-ropes course with eagle-eye views of the park and Trinity River. It includes more than 60 obstacles, a Tarzan swing, and plenty of ziplines to fly through the sky 40 feet above the ground. Admission is $59.95-$64.95, and it's open for all ages (must be at least 4-feet-7 to participate, and those under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult).

For a shorter, at-your-own-pace experience, the Treetop Journey packs in just as much fun as the Adventure in a one-hour ropes course with half the obstacles and two ziplines just 20 feet in the air. Admission is $39.95, and it's open for all ages (must be at least 3-feet-3 to participate, and those under age 6 must be accompanied by an adult).

There's also a new range for outdoor axe-throwing. With four lanes of targets and a variety of games and challenges, visitors can compete with their friends to determine who’s the best axe-thrower. The activity is suitable for ages 10 and up and participants aged 15 and under must be supervised by an adult. Cost is $19.95 per hour.

Reservations are recommended, at goape.com.

This is the second Go Ape Adventure Park in Dallas-Fort Worth, there's also one in Plano at the Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve.

Go Ape CEO Vernon West says in a release that he is thrilled to bring more “adventurous experiences” to Arlington's residents of all ages and skill levels.

The Treetop Adventure features over 60 obstacles, while the Treetop Journey has 30 obstacles.

“Our instructors will provide a tree-mendous experience for all guests, giving them a unique and fun adventure with the highlight being a 550-foot zipline over the Trinity River,” he says.

Arlington Parks and Recreation director James Orloski adds that he can’t wait to see adventure-seekers smiling as they “soar through the skies” with any of the new activities.

"Partnering with Go Ape, the premier zipline and ropes course vendor in the U.S., is an exciting opportunity to provide a thrilling outdoor experience for Arlington residents and visitors alike and gives us the chance to showcase our parks system from a new vantage point," Orloski says.

Find the park at 1601 NE Green Oaks Blvd., Arlington.

Dallas Cowboys remain NFL’s most valuable team at staggering $16 billion

Despite last season’s record of 7-9-1 and this season’s opening loss to the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys remain the NFL’s golden team.

CNBC’s annual ranking of the NFL’s most valuable franchises once again puts the Cowboys at No. 1. Jerry Jones’ team is worth an estimated $16 billion based on 2025 figures, up from $12.5 billion the previous year. Just as noteworthy: The ’Boys were the only team to break the $1 billion mark for revenue, pulling in nearly $1.3 billion last year.

Jones, the team’s owner, president, and general manager, has practically transformed the Cowboys into an ATM. He bought the team in 1989 for only $150 million. Based on CNBC’s $16 billion estimate, the team’s value has jumped 10,567 percent over more than three decades.

In a 2016 interview with CNBC, Jones explained why he purchased the ’Boys: “I bought the Cowboys because I just wanted to be associated with sports and football. And I didn’t buy them for money.”

Two years later, Jones told Bloomberg that no amount of money would ever persuade him to sell the team.

“They’re a long-term asset, and my immediate family — which has been a part of making them what they are today — [will] own the Cowboys long after I’m gone,” he said.

The Cowboys make up just one component of Jones’ vast wealth. He also holds investments in the energy, real estate, hospitality and restaurant sectors. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimates his net worth at $20.9 billion.

Behind the Cowboys on CNBC’s most-valuable roster are the Los Angeles Rams, at $14.5 billion; Las Vegas Raiders, $13 billion; New York Giants, $12.5 billion; and New England Patriots, $12.25 billion.

What about the Cowboys’ archrival, the Philadelphia Eagles? With an estimated value of $11.5 billion, the Eagles roost at No. 8, according to CNBC.

And the Lone Star State’s other NFL team, the Houston Texans, sits at No. 15 with an estimated value of $9.9 billion.
