The Parks Mall at Arlington is a shopping mall that opened in February 1988 at 3811 South Cooper Street (FM 157) and Interstate 20 in South Arlington, Texas between Fort Worth and Dallas. It went through a renovation in 1996. Major anchor stores include Dick's Sporting Goods, Dillard's, JCPenney, Macy's, and Nordstrom Rack.
Construction of the Parks Mall began in 1985, with constructing ramping up in 1986 with a $21 million building permit for the mall. [2] It officially opened on February 24, 1988. [3]
The mall was developed by Homart Development Company and Herring Marathon. The original anchor stores were Dillard's, Mervyn's, and Sears. [4]
In 1989, The Parks was expanded and Houston-based Foley's (now Macy's) was added as the fourth anchor store. [5] Five years later, JCPenney was added as the fifth anchor store.
It expanded again in 2002 with a new wing featuring Galyan's (now Dick's Sporting Goods) and The Great Indoors. [6] [7] The Great Indoors closed in 2003 [8] and the space was taken over by Steve & Barry's in the mid-2000s.[ citation needed ]

On July 11, 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 28 stores nationwide. [11] It was reopened in August 2021 as Sears Hometown Inc. [12] The Sears Hometown closed some time after.[ when? ]
On June 28, 2023, it was announced that a Dick’s House of Sports will be replacing the former Sears at the mall. The store is slated to open by June 30, 2026. [13] The space Dick's Sporting Goods currently occupies will be converted into one or more tenants by 2030. [14]
