NWA Highlights: Parks
The heat of summer will soon be on its way out making way for fall weather and activities. With the cooler temps, it will be the perfect time to get out and explore one of the many parks that can be found in Northwest Arkansas. Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville have all placed an emphasis on revamping, renovating, and improving city parks in the last couple of years. Some have even added new parks to better serve residents and guests looking for these types of amenities. While there are many parks to choose from in Northwest Arkansas, here are a few to check out.
