Citizens Park Playground

If you haven’t taken your kids to Citizens Park yet, you’re missing out on one of Bentonville’s better-kept secrets. The zipline alone is enough to get older kids hooked, but there’s genuinely something here for every age — toddlers can mess around with the musical equipment while the bigger ones race down the slides. The whole thing is fully fenced with a gate that actually keeps little ones from wandering off, which parents around here really appreciate. Parking is easy, the turf surface means no muddy shoes, and the equipment feels current rather than that sun-bleached stuff you find at older parks. Solid choice for anywhere from a quick weekday outing to a full weekend afternoon.
