I had a nice time visiting this park. Lots of great hiking with various skill level trails of which…read moreto choose. Shared by hikers and bikers, for a large portion, the trails follow a nice creek. It should be noted that in the NE portion of the trails, the wastewater treatment facility "butts" up next to the trails. This means for about five minutes each pass, hikers experience an olfactory delight that motivates them to keep moving forward. This area is a VERY SMALL portion of the trails and is by no means a reason not to visit. Overall, I recommend travelers and locals to visit Park Springs Park.

I love this little hidden gem of a park. It is beautifully surrounded by greenery and trees. There…read moreis a large covered pavilion for get togethers. It also has a fireplace and picnic tables. I love trees and a cool thing about this park is the age of the trees. There are trees from age 8 to 220 years! There is a white oak here that sprouted in 1776. The trees are marked by posts. At post 1 is the largest and oldest existing specimen on record in Arkansas. At post 25 is the "Tree of Heaven". Go check out this park!

The pond has turtles, fish and lots of other wildlife in and around the water. There is also a little spring that flows through the middle of the park feeding into the creek at the north side of the park. I love coming here with my family.

Located about two blocks from the Bentonville City Square, this park has a fenced-in playground…read morethat includes covered picnic tables and benches. This is pretty darned awesome. Sure, we need to keep a tight eye on our kids but with a three foot fence, we can better see who is approaching. The park also has walking trails, a public restroom and lots of space. Free street parking all around. Great stuff! [Review 19799 overall - 275 in Arkansas - 772 of 2023.]

I love this park. I come here pretty often with my kid…read more LOCATION/PARKING: It is located near the town square in downtown Bentonville. There is street parking all along the park, except for the south side. To the east of it there is a decent size parking lot. All parking is free. AMENITIES: This park has bathrooms and drinking fountains located at the bathroom building. There are also plenty of benches and tables, most aren't covered, but there is a big table by the playground that is shaded. PLAYGROUND: Their is a large playground at this park. The entire playground is enclosed by a fence, which is awesome!! Keep your kids trapped inside haha. There are two gates to get in and has a lock that is difficult for kids to open. The fence definitely helps make you feel more secure that your kid isn't wandering off into the street or to a stranger haha. Obviously you should be watching your kid, but those little ones can be fast. There are two separate play structures. One is aimed at younger kids and the other at older kids. My almost 3 year old likes to play at both. There are also swings next to the smaller kid playground. Two bucket seats and two regular seats. Inside the playground there are a few benches and tables. One larger table is under a cover, great for shade! In the summer I felt that the playground didn't get too hot because there are some big trees surrounding the play structures, so it helped a lot for the slides and parts of the play structure to not get too hot. Outside of the fenced area there is a large grass area with walkways and some tables/benches.

I absolutely love Wilson Springs! It's a beautiful habitat that focuses on preserving wildlife and…read morenative plants. It's a great place to go for a walk if you want to feel like you're really out in nature without having to leave the city. Beautiful all year round and I hardly ever run into lots of people out here. There's two entrances to the preserve, one at the Sam's Club on highway 112 if you park on the southern edge of the parking lot and the other's along Deane Solomon Rd, there's a few parking spots along N Floral Court and then you'll walk a very short distance north along Deane Solomon and you'll see the entrance. There are bike racks at either entrance to the park because there's no bikes or dogs allowed in the preserve due to the sensitivity of the trails since it's a wet prairie and the goal of the preserve is to maintain the ecosystem in the best possible condition for wildlife and native flora.

The equipment and walking trails are all age appropriate with different areas designed for barrier free playground access, as well as exercise activities and walking/running paths etc. This area is spacious and comfortable with restrooms, grills and tables, covered areas and group event areas, etc. This is well planned and very easy/fun to access.

Also known as Strickler in the Lee Creek Valley, these ATV trails butt up against Devil's Den State…read morePark. There are multiple trails, unmarked that span several miles. We have ridden for up to 8 hours and traveled over 30 miles encountering horseback riders, other atv riders, mountainbike riders, hikers and campers in the woods. The scenery is beautiful along Lee Creek and you have many opportunities to cross the creek on the trails. Some of the terrain is rough and rocky and beware of the mud puddles...if you cannot see the bottom, do not try to go through. We sunk a couple to the seat! Not only great for atv but hiking and taking in the swimming holes is a must. The scenery is great. Check out my personal pics To reach Devil's Den State Park, travel eight miles south of Fayetteville on I-540 to Exit #53 (West Fork), then go approx 17 miles southwest on Ark. 170. You will take a right onto 220 which turns into a dirt road, travelling past the horseback rider camp and day use area. There are several unloading areas on the right and left down 220 to start your trail adventure

The Battle of Prairie Grove (Dec 7, 1862; near Fayetteville, Arkansas) was the last time two armies of almost equal strength faced each other for control of northwest Arkansas and Missouri. Union forces, led by Generals James G. Blunt and Francis Herron, clashed with Confederate troops under Gen. Thomas C. Hindman. Hindman moved towards Blunt's division in order to attack while it was isolated. However, Blunt was reinforced by Herron, leading Hindman to take a defensive position on some high ground known as Prairie Grove. Herron attempted to assault Hindman's lines twice, but both were repulsed. Eventually, both sides disengaged and the fighting reached an inconclusive result. However, the unavailability of reinforcements forced Hindman's army to retreat from the field during nightfall. The battle ended in a draw, but the Confederates had to retreat, giving the Union control of the area.
