About Orchards Park
Orchards Park is a landscaped city park in Bentonville, Arkansas — a relaxed neighborhood gathering spot rather than a mountain bike destination. If you’re expecting singletrack or a pump track here, this isn’t that; it’s a great family stop that happens to sit close to some of Bentonville’s best riding.
Trail details
Let’s be straight about it: Orchards Park doesn’t have mountain bike trails, dirt jumps, or a pump track. What it does have is a network of paved walking paths that are pleasant for an easy cruise or for young kids on balance bikes. If your goal is real trail riding, treat this as a warm-up or a family break, not the main event.
The park / where it is
Orchards Park sits at 1100 NE John DeShields Blvd in Bentonville, a short hop from Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. It’s a well-kept, family-oriented park with a children’s playground (with separate zones for younger and older kids), a dog park, an amphitheater, a pavilion, a water feature, and open landscaped areas. You’ll find parking, restrooms, and picnic space on site, which makes it a handy spot to regroup between rides.
Connected & nearby trails
The real riding is close by. Crystal Bridges Trails offer paved and natural paths that tie right into the museum grounds and the greenway. From there, Slaughter Pen Trail is Bentonville’s flowy downtown singletrack, and Coler Mountain Bike Preserve is a full day of trails a bit farther out. For little kids, the Bentonville Bike Playground is a gentle place to build skills.
Know before you go
Come here for a picnic, a playground stop, or an easy stroll, and pair it with real trails nearby. The paved paths are open year-round and stay usable in most weather. Dogs are welcome, with a dedicated dog park on site. Keep an eye on kids and pedestrians if you’re rolling through, since this is a busy family park, not a place to move fast.
