College Park Center (CPC) is an indoor, multi-purpose arena on the University of Texas at Arlington campus in Arlington, Texas, United States.[4][5] It seats up to 7,000 spectators.

Its primary tenant is the Mavericks athletic department including the university's basketball and volleyball teams. A secondary tenant during the summer season is the WNBA's Dallas Wings, though they will move to a downtown Dallas arena for the start of the 2026 season.[6] It also hosts graduation ceremonies for UT Arlington, other private trade schools, and area high schools, along with concerts and events.

The arena is part of a 20-acre (8.1 ha) section of the campus known as the College Park District. Completed in 2012, the District includes a residence hall, student apartments, a welcome center, a credit union, a 4.62-acre (1.87 ha) park called The Green at College Park, restaurants, and three parking garages.[7]
