Community Outreach on Proposed Outdoor Recreation Amenities at Hindman Park

Little Rock Parks and Recreation invites you to participate in a series of community meetings to discuss the proposed Master Plan for Hindman Park. Spanning over 150 acres of beautiful open green space and undisturbed forests, Hindman Park is a unique gem where the Wetlands and Fourche Bottomland Forest meet with the Ouachita Mountains and Forests. These meetings aim to educate residents on plans to enhance this one-of-a-kind green space and create an Outdoor Recreational Park with various amenities, including paved walking and biking trails, a top-of-the-line playground, hiking trails, mountain bike trails, a championship disc golf course, scouting, a fishing lake and piers, a kayak launch on Brodie Creek, and improved parking and security features. The plan also proposes connection points to Brodie Creek Park and Western Hills through the park.

During the meetings, we will review the work performed thus far and discuss the challenges and opportunities in activating this space. Your feedback is not just important, it's crucial. You are the key to shaping the future of Hindman Park.
