Readthrough summary

The City of Fayetteville's park planning team is in the final design phase for a new neighborhood park near Owl Creek, and it wants residents' input before the plans are locked in.

A drop-in workshop is set for Thursday, Oct. 29, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the street stub-out next to the intersection of North Magellan Lane and West Oldham Drive. If the weather is bad, it moves indoors to the Boys and Girls Club at 560 N. Rupple Road. There is no formal presentation, so people can come at any time.

Attendees can weigh in on the final park concept and style, the amenities and layout, and the overall feel of the park. The city says the park will cover roughly 1.5 to 2 acres and may include play areas, gathering spaces, trail connections and nature-based learning features. The site's creek, floodplain and a remnant prairie will stay part of the design.

People who can't attend can fill out an online survey at speakup.fayetteville-ar.gov, which will stay open for at least two weeks.

Key points

  • Workshop: Thu., Oct. 29, 4:30-6:30 p.m.
  • Park size: about 1.5 to 2 acres near Owl Creek
  • Creek, floodplain and prairie remnant will be kept
