Burns Park

Burns Park is a large recreational area in North Little Rock featuring two golf courses, tennis courts, and soccer fields. The grounds stretch along the Arkansas River and include camping areas, fishing locations, and multiple trail systems for visitors to explore.

The land became a public park in 1948 when North Little Rock acquired surplus land from Camp Robinson. The name honors Dr. William M. Burns for his contributions to the community.

The park maintains historical structures including a pre-Civil War log cabin, a Union Pacific Railroad caboose, and a World War II military tank for public viewing.

The grounds are open daily and allow access to all sporting facilities throughout the day. The area is large, so wearing good shoes or driving between locations makes navigation easier for visitors.

The grounds contain two separate 18-hole disc golf courses that offer an alternative to traditional golf. These courses draw both newcomers and experienced players looking for an accessible outdoor activity.
