    Again Noah has written an excellent review…read more Nice layout and esthetics. Wish I was on a work trip with my Pup just to bring him. Small area for dogs 30 lbs and under and over 30. Water. Rock features. Sloping hills. Poop bags. Dogs and dog owners only though. Still you have street parking available. Or the dedicated Park parking lot with a short walk to the park. Not a lot of shade but that's seems to be the norm for dog parks these days. Good dedicated area for Fido to sniff butts and run around with friends.

    This is a pretty solid dog park in Little Rock, it's particularly open and pretty for a dog park,…read moreand has really central water stations, and tends to get one of the better crowds of both dogs and dog owners. It's also the most central of a lot of the ones I've been to, easily walkable from SOMA and Downtown, and even the Clinton Library if you're especially determined. It's nestled in the Southeastern corner of MacArthur Park, all in all a great place to walk around and enjoy a day outside, or catch a museum visit (I hear the brunch at the art museum is terrific!) and it's a nice perk for us dog owners to have a spot where we can let the furbabies run off-leash for a little while. There are some hills to get your fetch-oriented dogs extra tired, and some cool rock sculptures that dogs love to run through. It gets a few demerits that are mostly seasonal: it's the muddiest of the parks I've gone to (even more so than Burns, which was a shock) and it also has almost no shade, so if you're there on a hot day, be prepared to have no escape in this park. Still, that also makes it one of the best places to go when the weather is ideal :)

    This park is located near the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History and is home to the…read moreArkansas Korean War Veterans Memorial. It spans 36 acres and is known as Little Rock's first public park and dates back to 1892. It was renamed after WWII hero, General Douglas MacArthur, in 1942. Given its historic significance you will find a number of historic markers and memorials on the park's grounds. The park seems like they periodically maintain it, but that some areas have been lacking lately. There were areas of the park's grass that were not mowed and trash was overflowing in parts by the pond. This park is home to a very nice playground that has some realitivley new equipment that includes a saucer swing, a huge jungle gym with slides, an interactive game station, some percussion instruments, and a small jungle gym with a sway fun glider and a slide. The area has the mud free rubber surface on the ground and there are blue awnings over some of the equipment to provide shade. Of course there are benches at the playground for caregivers to sit on. The benches have shade coverings as well. It is a very nice area as I mentioned. The park has a stocked fishing pond and there were tons of people fishing while I was there. And I saw many of them actually catching fish. You will see an amphitheater and a fishing pier along the pond. The park also features a nice paved trail to run, walk, bike or hike. You can also use it to take your fur baby for a walk. Just be aware that much of the trail is in the open and has no shade. Other park amenities include a gazebo, a shelter that is available to rent, Contemplation Gardens, a restroom facility, tons of green space and a bocce court. The green space is suitable for most field activities including soccer, football, playing catch, or tossing a frisbee. This is a very nice park that is located on the outskirts of Little Rock. You could easily spend a half of a day here or more. It could use a tad bit more maintenance though. What makes this park more special is its historical background. It is rich with history. I would classify this as a destination park and highly recommend checking this place out.

    A lovely park for a stroll before heading to the airport. Historic markers all over, which told me…read moresuch information as the fact that it was the first public park in Little Rock, and renamed for Gen. MacArthur after the war. Clean, historic, well kept, and right off the interstate, this is a wonderful park with some non-standard play equipment which I could see being very fun for a child.
