    The pretty welcome center is just where it begins. Past that, you'll find Arkansas' largest state park with over 52 miles of hiking trails (including horseback riding trails, mountain biking, and ADA trails), primitive camping sites, and geocaching. There's trails of varying lengths, so whatever your activity level, there's something there for you. We went geocaching and loved it! Word to the wise - if you go in the summer time, there will be ticks. Make sure to get some tick spray or balm or peppermint oil on your extremities before heading out on the trail.

    There are so many gorgeous trails to hike and bike in Hobbs State Park! If you are unsure what's the Trail for you, stop by the visitors center and check out a map and chat with the friendly people for advice! Lots of fresh air and sunshine and totally free. What could be better?

    Breath taking experience, will come back in summer. It's best to check if permit hunting is on, cos that's when several tracks are shut down. Amazing customer service, treasure trove of historic developments in early American days.

    Mtbing is awesome! I've ridden the trails twice now. Nothing technical, lots of flow and quite a bit of climbing. The loop is approximately 20 miles with just a couple miles of back tracking. Watch out for timber rattlers when the weather is warm. And if you're new to the trail take a map, just in case.

    The trail was beautiful and very well taken care of. They take really good care of the park. The ladies inside were very friendly.

There are walking trails that meander through the park and a nice escape to enjoy some nature in this large small city. The park looks to be perfect for picnics with several picnic tables and shaded areas and a small pavilion. he park was named after long term City Council Members Ed Austin and Mary Baggett, with gratitude and recognition of many years of dedicated service to our citizenry. There is dedicated park parking. [Review 2343 of 2024 - 391 in Arkansas - 23357 overall]

    This park is every little kids dream! It has a huge merry go round type toy that you could easily…read morefit 6 small kids on and it entertained my little one and his friends almost the entire 2 hours we were there! There are also so many trees! I absolutely love it! It was a bit overcast today so it was nice and cool but even on a hot day the trees will provide shade. There's also a wonderful aroma of honeysuckle wafting through the park and it was fun to show the kids how to get the sweet nectar from it. It only got 4 stars because there are no bathrooms! There is a Kum and go .4 mi away but that's still pretty inconvenient. Right now it looks like there is only street parking and there is one open parking spot and one handicapped spot open. There's another parking lot on the car side but it is blocked off because of all the construction. So, make sure the kiddos all go to the bathroom before you head out and you'll have a great time!

    Great place to hang out and burn some energy off in the park…read more It's an interesting location. Unique for the history of the Butterfield Railyard and downtown Rogers but it's also next to some a busy street on the other side. A trash truck drove by and crop dusted us with some strong trashy smell. The playground has a bunch of hills and climbing obstacles/tunnels. Benches surround the playground. The park is lined with recycled rubber, so it's soft and didn't get hot under the baking sun. The splash pad beneath the three faux water towers were fun as well. Each water tower has its own personality. On the other end you'll find a retired and renovated train crane around a playground with elevated slides and a lookout tower. Beyond that the Butterfield amphitheatre where I bet they host some concerts and festivals on the weekends and holidays. The City of Rogers made good use of a the historic railroad space. As the trees grow in and up, there will be more shade and I bet when as the fall approaches, more people will come to this park. Clean bathrooms are in the yellow container (railroad track side), along with a working water fountain. Nice park.

    Playground, bike park, outside shaded seating and the occasional low-speed train passing through…read more Lots of art including murals, painted water towers and climbable sculptures. Did I forget to mention that the city is also providing free wifi? The space between the playground and the train tracks has a nice fence so you can watch your little ones looking at the trains and not have to worry about them doing something dumb. Street parking with food and drink and treat vendors nearby. [Review 19795 overall - 272 in Arkansas - 767 of 2023.]

    The park is amazing, but it will need some serious upkeep to open up some trails…read more As we walked towards Crystal Bridges most of the trails were cleared, but the beauty of the trails were interrupted by the recent storm. They'll need to pick up and clear the fallen trees and debris. The trails were mostly cleared for walking, and the trail bikers didn't find any problems making their rounds, but it just wasn't its prettiest. I'm confident the City of Bentonville will get to it. It's a beautiful park with plenty of potential to get back to it's typical beauty.

    BEAUTIFUL is the the one word to describe the Scenery here…read more I give this place only ONE STAR due to the people (Bicyclist) you may encounter here. Which can completely ruin your walk/hike. Most of the bicyclist are respectful. But over the last two years we've seen some real JERKS disrespect people walking through. This past Saturday was our first encounter with one of those Jerks. Pedestrians and bikers must share some of the same trails and bikers have signs that they they must yield to people walking and even notify when they are going to pass you so you're not ran over or hit by a bike. We've seen quite a few confrontations between pedestrians and bicyclist. My son and my 7 yr old niece were walking back from the bathroom as a family of 4 were walking the opposite direction were about to meet when this Moron tried to pass between them before the gap closed and hit and knock down my niece. He didn't have the patience to wait for the families to cross each other so he would have a clear path around after knocking her down he slowed down without stopping and look back and yelled "is she okay?" but didn't stop, just kept going. But then... As the JERK lay there on the ground with a bruised face, and two flat tires. I also didn't feel any concern or sympathy for him. But I still asked him if he was okay. I gave he a short lecture on karma and we left the park. Now remember not all bicyclists are that way. A lot of them are respectful and will wait or even let you know if they are ready to pass. But there are still those dumb few that don't care at all.
