Burns Park

Burns Park in North Little Rock

Occupying 17-hundred acres of western North Little Rock, Burns Park is home to baseball fields, an amusement park, a BMX course, dozens of soccer and ultimate frisbee fields, a campground and miles and miles of paved and unpaved, bike, equestrian, and pedestrian trails.

Located at the Military Dr. exit off of Interstate 40, the park is a great place for mountain biking, with miles of challenging trails designed with bikes in mind. If you are looking for an easy stroll, try the mostly flat, unpaved, and forested yellow trail in the northwest corner of the park.

There are also paved, more open trails that connect to the River Trail located in the southwest corner around the athletic fields.
