Confirmed from Pea Ridge City Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Spacious tree-filled fixture boasting a basketball court and an amphitheater for live entertainment.
What runners say about Pea Ridge City Park
“Luckily we had someone stop by and tell us and then we let a couple other people know 😉 Very clean park and some nice covered areas.”
“With its peaceful atmosphere and upgraded amenities, Pea Ridge City Park continues to be a favorite spot for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and event organizers.”
I love the Pea Ridge City Park. I go there nearly everyday for the walking paths. The park is quiet and peaceful. It feels safe as well. The facilities are well maintained and clean.
Pleasant place for a walk (partially paved, partially gravel). Has one large, muddy, slippery area on the paved portion and multiple areas where water accumulates on gravel portion. Spacious areas with well-kept playground equipment and picnic tables. A couple of fields, a tiny basketball court, and a small splash pad.
Pea Ridge City Park is a well-maintained community space featuring playgrounds, walking paths, a splash pad, and sports facilities. The park recently expanded its offerings with the addition of a new amphitheater, unveiled in late 2024.
A great park for families. They have done a lot of upgrades to their park and equipment. They now have a splash pad, which looks really nice. Today I noticed they brought back the helicopter that used to be there but now with new paint and new seats!
