Burns Park

Burns Park is a large recreational area in North Little Rock with two golf courses, sports complexes, and various facilities spread throughout the grounds along the Arkansas River. The park contains different zones for various activities, from sports to quiet outdoor areas.

The land was once Camp Pike, a military training camp during World War I, with foxholes still visible across the grounds today. These remains show how the area served the military during that period.

The park contains a log cabin from before the Civil War, a covered bridge, and a World War II tank that tell stories about how people lived and worked in this region. These structures stand as reminders of different eras that shaped the community.

The park can be reached from Interstate 40 Exit 150 and has parking areas, restrooms, and RV camping zones spread throughout the grounds. Plan enough time to explore since the space is large and offers many different activities.

A lake within the park serves as a training ground for the Arkansas Water Ski Club and also allows fishing from the bank or from boats. This body of water attracts people interested in water sports and fishing.
