It’s summer in Little Rock, AR, which means it’s time for some fun days out with your loved ones. Thankfully, we don’t need to look far in Little Rock, AR, as there are so many summer activities to choose from. Let’s take a look at some of the best.
Peabody Splash Park
Take a worry-free drive to Peabody Splash Park, safe in the knowledge that if your car sustains any damage on the way, experienced and skilled experts are close by at Crain to fix it. This fun-filled splash park can be found at 400 President Clinton Avenue and is guaranteed to keep the children entertained for hours.
The park includes some extraordinary attractions designed by children for children, with features including a collection of weird and wonderful outdoor and underground rooms and tunnels, large native stones for climbing, and a lovely pavilion that’s home to a tube slide, a climbing wall, a space net, and a splash fountain with water sprays.
The T.R Pugh Memorial Park
Located at 3800 Lakeshore Drive, this beautiful park was built in honor of Thomas R. Pugh, an agricultural leader in southeast Arkansas. The cornerstone of the mill contains rocks taken from Thomas Pugh’s own grandfather’s plantation. In 1933 when it was built, it was purposely made to look 100 years older than it was in reality.
It was cleverly designed by a talented architect called Frank Carmean, with Mexican artist Dionicio Rodriguez creating some of the park’s most quirky and unique features, including sculptures of toadstools, tree stumps that resourceful kids use as makeshift seats, plus a bridge with intertwining branches that connects the mill to the rest of this extraordinary park.
Plum Bayou Mounds Archeological State Park
Situated at 490 Toltec Mounds Road, the Plum Bayou is one of only four National Historic Parks in the whole of Arkansas. It’s absolutely mind-boggling to think that the park used to be a ceremonial site for prehistoric Native Americans over 1000 years ago.
The park is home to the beautiful 0.8-mile Knapp Trail that winds its way through the old Indian site of yesteryear. You can also book a guide who will tell you all about the mound-building Native Americans who lived on that exact same site all those centuries ago. The 1.6-mile Plum Bayou trail is equal in beauty to the first and attracts thousands of visitors every year.
