UTA College Park District    In downtown Arlington there is a 20-acre area that is now developing as a new, unique part of the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington known as the College Park District.  At the heart of the area is a new university special events center known as College Park Center.  Adjacent to the center is mixed-use development of student housing, retail stores and restaurants and a University welcome center.

The College Park District is adjacent to the downtown area served by the Downtown Express and is only a short walk from the Levitt Pavilion.  While the Downtown Express does not schedule specific service for College Park Center events, it provides easy access to the University area.
