About Bentonville Community Center
Bentonville Parks & Recreation is the City of Bentonville’s parks department and community center in Bentonville, Arkansas — not a trail itself, but the hub behind the parks and trails that make this town a mountain biking hotspot. If you landed here looking for singletrack, the good news is you’re minutes from some of the best riding in the country.
Trail details
To be clear: there’s no trail to ride at this address. This entry is the Bentonville Community Center, the main facility for the city’s Parks and Recreation department, which helps manage and support Bentonville’s parks and its broader trail network. Think of it as the front door to the city’s recreation system rather than a destination for a bike ride.
The park / where it is
The Bentonville Community Center sits at 1101 SW Citizens Circle. It’s a large indoor recreation facility with a natatorium (a leisure pool with water slides plus a competition pool), two full basketball courts, an indoor running track overlooking the gym, cardio and strength equipment, group fitness classes, a kids center, and community rooms. It’s open daily, with early-morning to evening hours on weekdays and shorter hours on weekends — a solid option for a rest-day workout, a family swim, or a rainy-day plan when the dirt is too wet to ride.
Connected & nearby trails
The real riding is all around you. Slaughter Pen Trail is Bentonville’s flowy downtown network, Coler Mountain Bike Preserve is a full day of trails and features, and the paved North Bentonville Trail connects much of it together. If you’re with young kids, the Bentonville Bike Playground is a gentle place to start.
Know before you go
Use the community center for what it’s good at — an indoor workout, a swim, a place to regroup on a wet day — and plan your actual ride at one of the nearby trailheads. Check the center’s current hours and any admission or membership requirements before you go, since it’s a city facility. For live trail conditions and maps, lean on the Trailforks app and OZ Trails resources rather than expecting trailhead info at this location.
