About Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Department
At Fayetteville Parks and Recreation, we are in the people business! It is our intent that individuals of all abilities, ages, interests and needs, feel welcome in our programs and our facilities.
Meeting Community Needs
Fayetteville Parks and Recreation has been recognized as the "Best in Arkansas," but we are not happy with just "being the best." We constantly add new programs and build new parks to keep up with the needs of our residents.
We want to be your number one stop for family fun and recreation. If there are any special accommodations you might need in order to participate please let us know.
