MacArthur Park in Downtown Little Rock MacArthur Park in Downtown Little Rock This page is run by the MacArthur Park Group with the permission of Little Rock Parks and Recreation.

The 36-acre MacArthur Park is the oldest municipal park in Little Rock (Pulaski County). Located at 9th Street between Commerce and McMath Street, just west of Interstate 30, it includes the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History, the Korean War Memorial and the Firehouse Hostel & Museum as well as Macarthur Unleashed Dog Park and MacArthur Unlimited Playground. A need for continuing renovations led to the formation in 2006 of the MacArthur Park Group, a grass roots organization dedicated to preserving and improving MacArthur Park and its neighborhood. The MacArthur Park Group continues to meet every Friday morning at 8 a.m. in the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History. The meetings are informal and open to the public. Reservations or rentals for park use is through Parks & Recreation, 501-371-4770.

There's still time to register for the MacArthur Park "History on the Run" 5K race on May 1. Pre-registration secures your T-shirt and saves $10 on the cost, but must be done by midnight on April 30. If you prefer to wait until the day of the race, you can still register on Friday. Thanks to our great sponsors for making this race a success since it first started in 2008.
