I took my kids down to the skate park by the river. It is really neat. There are 3 different parts. 1st there is a concrete parts with ramps for skateboards, then there is an asphalt track with high bank curves for bmx bikes and scooters, and then there is a dirt area with ramps and curves for mountain bikes. My kids really had a good time. It was a bit crowded on a Friday night

Its a really nice place, unfortunately it was underwater the last time we were there. I enjoyed it on our family staycation last year and hope the damage was not too terrible from the Arkansas River flood.

The skate/bike park is great. Several people, from small child to adults, riding the tracks. Everyone was respectful and helpful. A nice addition would be a vendor there during good weather to sell snacks and drinks

Review №33

It is good and was getting better, but then they built the eyesore of a marshalls museum and ruined it. They had prime realestate and wasted it on a museum for criminals with badges that isnt going to benefit anyone. Great bike and skate park too.

The lighted Riverwalk trail that starts here is always a favorite. The park/pavillion/ and amphitheatre are always busy and Im looking forward to the new skate park. (Oh, and the water fountains with the doggy bowls are great!)

I learned a lot about the History of Ft Smith. I didnt realise how much it played a big part of the west.

Br

A great place, ft. Smith should utilize it more..dragon boat races, chalk art on the sidewalk, have a West Fest (Western festival) downtown. The room is there and opportunity..might as well use it.
