Of course, Popeye is well known for downing a can of spinach before his muscles spring out and he beats up Brutus to save Olive Oyl. It's a cute park with a fountain and a dedicated parking area. The light poles in the parking area have power outlets and are therefore Level 1 chargers. Free. Thanks, City of Alma! I hung out here for an hour or so to put some electrons into my on-board battery. [Review 674 of 2024 - 344 in Arkansas - 21705 overall]

It's a fascinating history And one that you have to spend a little bit of time going to the museum and understanding the different angles. I guess that's a purpose of a museum, right? We learned a little bit about Judge Isaac, Parker, as one of the first influences that had to deal with the wild West murderers and people committing heinous crimes that until he arrived, didn't face many consequences as there was no federal government system that was in control of the area and the tribunal process did not cover non-native Americans. Fascinating history. You can even see a replica of the courthouse as well as the gallows as they were over 160 people hang here. Take a rock across the railroad tracks and read a bit about the trail of tears. There are plenty of areas to contemplate the history. Bring a picnic, there are many places to relax and spread out. The museum is actually free, is air-conditioned and had clean restrooms

The park is named after Ross Pendergraft, a prominent resident who was the executive vice president and chief operating officer of Donrey Media Group, a national media company. There is not much to this park. It is relatively small and features a Bass Reeves statue titled, Into the Territory. You will also find a covered stage/pavilion (which serves as a unhoused person camp) and some benches that are positioned along the parks paved walkways. There is a patch of green space, but nothing large enough for playing field sports. The park's primary purpose is relaxation, picnics and small to medium special events. The park is well maintained and has a capacity of about 500. It should be noted that the park does not have any restrooms or water fountains, so, plan accordingly. This park has a decent sized green space and is the site of many special events inclusding the city's Fall Festival, the Fort Smith Lambda Society Pride event and group exercise classes including their popular Zumba class.
