Carol Ann Cross Tot Lot

Fort Smith’s got plenty of parks, but this little tot lot tucked near Carol Ann Cross Park is one of those spots locals seem to quietly claim as their own. It’s geared toward younger kids, so if you’ve got a toddler or preschooler in tow, they’ll have a good time without getting overwhelmed by bigger playground equipment. Worth knowing before you head out — it’s not wheelchair accessible, so plan accordingly. Nothing fancy, but sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
