How it all started

In 2002, during the Parks and Recreation master planning process, Fayetteville Citizens expressed their wishes for the Department to establish a citywide trails and greenway network. The City of Fayetteville immediately hired a coordinator to identify and administer current and future trail projects. Taking the requests from the citizens, Fayetteville now offers over 18 miles of paved trails and the  Fayetteville Alternative Transportation and Trails Master Plan identifies 100 miles of future trails that will connect parks, neighborhoods and citizens for years to come.

In 2005, the City of Fayetteville reviewed their trails program and decided it was more efficient and quicker to begin building the trails system in house. Now with a collaborative effort between Parks and Recreation, Transportation and the Engineering Divisions, approximately 2-3 miles of trails are constructed annually. These trails provide safe and accessible recreation for citizens while providing alternative transportation opportunities for citizens and visitors.  For more information on the current and planned trail construction projects, click the link below.

For further information on how you can become involved, contact the Parks and Recreation Division, (479-444-3471), the City of Fayetteville, your local elected officials or local cycling, running or walking clubs.  To find out how you can help keep Fayetteville trails clean see the new Adopt A Trail program.

Fayetteville named Bicycle Friendly Community

Fayetteville was awarded a bronze Bicycle Friendly Community Award by the League of American Bicyclists in October 2010.  Fayetteville becomes the second City in Arkansas to receive this prestigious designation, next to North Little Rock.  The award is based on the five E's of a bicycle friendly community including bicycle education, encouragement, evaluation & planning, engineering, and enforcement.  The League of American Bicyclists has also provided detailed feedback of ways Fayetteville can continue to become more Bicycle Friendly and ready silver, gold and even platinum status in the future.   The sign below will be installed at access points around the City.

Section of Frisco Trail now open

A new 0.4 mile section of Frisco Trail was officially opened to the public with a ribbon cutting ceremony on October, 20th 2010.  This section of trail closed the gap between Frisco Trail and Scull Creek Trail to create a continuous 7.6 miles of paved trail from MLK Jr. Blvd. to Old Missouri Road.  Trail lighting on this section is planned for early 2011.  - Click Here for more information and a detailed map.
