A dedication ceremony is underway in Little Rock of a new urban bike trail at the base of River Mountain Road. Funding came from $2.6 million from the Walton Family Foundation, with the foundation’s Gary Vernon saying Little Rock has become a major cycling destination.

[Frank Scott, Jr. @FrankScottJr]

The opening of Little Rock’s River Mountain Trail represents our vision of unity, growth & transformation! Our dynamic trails system demonstrates why we made @wallethub’s Top 10 cities travel list. Thank you @ArParksFound & @WaltonFamilyFdn for investing $2.6M. #RebuildTheRock

It’s been nearly 2 years since the @MonumentTrails at Hobbs State Park opened to visitors. We hope you have enjoyed the ride but if you’ve never camped—put that on your list! The campsites along the Karst loop are showstoppers. https://t.co/2Ss2jZ1cDH

[ARParksFoundation @ArParksFound]

We’ve partnered with the @CityLittleRock to activate River Mountain Park with trails (located off of the @ARRiverTrail and next to Two River Park). Opening day is on its way!

We would like to share this great info-graphic from @ArParksFound on practicing good social distancing while on our trails!

We are all in this together! #FlattenTheCurve #RespectOurTrails

[ARParksFoundation @ArParksFound]

Thanks, Mayor for helping to dedicate this project & for adding your support to our work. Great things happen when people work together towards the common goal of improving quality of life for all.

This new Allsopp Park gateway shows how public-private partnerships connect parks to people through creative solutions. This project is in memory of Michael Lasiter. Partners include Ark. Parks & Recreation Foundation, Heights Neighborhood Assoc., Michael’s friends & @LRParksRec.

[ARParksFoundation @ArParksFound]

The vision for @MonumentTrails is rooted in highlighting the beauty of our state as well as the cultural, environmental, and historical values of each individual park for all to visit. Sustainability and quality are notable features in all projects.

[Walton Foundation @WaltonFamilyFdn]

The @MonumentTrails not only provide miles of new multi-use trails, but also highlight the unique natural qualities of their respective state parks. https://t.co/BEt26mUPxe @ArParksFound @ARStatePark #NWArk

[Walton Foundation @WaltonFamilyFdn]

A new era of trail building is underway in Arkansas. @MonumentTrails are slowly being woven into our state parks and promise to further secure #NWArk as the "Cycling Hub of the South." https://t.co/euSh8VTNgP @ArParksFound @ARStatePark
