Fayetteville Parks and Recreation! The Best in Arkansas!

Fayetteville Parks and Recreation has a wide variety of Recreation Programs we offer to the Citizens of Fayetteville. Our programs include youth and adult soccer, youth and adult softball, adult kickball, adult flag football, summer camps, and swim lessons, along with all activities at the Yvonne Richardson Community Center. Volunteer organizations manage activities in our parks for youth baseball, tennis, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, disc golf, and rugby. Annual Parks events include the Lake Fayetteville Outdoor Festival, the Gulley Park Summer Concert Series, the Art Walk, and the Dive-In Movies at Wilson Pool. Last year, more than 51,000 people participate in our "Award Winning" recreational programs.
