Osage Park — Attraction in Bentonville

Wonderful park for walking and fishing. There's not a lot to occupy young kids if they don't like nature walks and/or fishing. There is only one playground, by the Thaden Field off I St., but you can see geese and occasionally beavers. The main park is all walking trails and lake. There is a small dog park that isn't open yet, and I think an archery range is coming soon (?). By the entrance are three food trucks, a small pavilion with 6 or 7 tables and a public restroom, and two pickleball courts. Everything else is wide open prairie and wetlands. Lake Bentonville is a very small lake (more like a big pond, not for swimming) and is stocked with fish. With a fishing license you can fish from the banks or a series of small docks around the lake. Small planes take off from the municipal airport frequently on weekends and fly right over the park. It's a great grownup park and fun to take the kids to for a...

I have a Yorkshire terrier, and anybody with a small dog is not recommended to go there as they can get loose between the fence posts. Plus it’s not flat so if your dog goes up and over the hill, you’re gonna have to keep an eye on your dog. Also, they do not separate the small dogs and the large dogs. And the most disadvantaged part is the archery section right next to the dog section ,so I would definitely be careful that your dog don’t get shot accidentally...
