Martin Luther King Jr. Playground

Locals know this spot as one of the more welcoming playgrounds in Fort Smith — it’s part of the broader MLK Jr. Park, which gives families plenty of room to spread out beyond just the play area. Accessibility is a real priority here, so kids of different abilities can actually use the space without it feeling like an afterthought. It draws a genuinely mixed crowd, which is kind of the point given the park’s namesake. If you’re in that part of town, it’s worth swinging by.
