About The Railyard Bike & Dog Park
The Railyard Bike & Dog Park is a free, city-run bike park in downtown Rogers, Arkansas, and it’s one of the most fun places in Northwest Arkansas to session on two wheels. Packed into about six acres, it mixes a pump track, dirt jump lines and progression flow lines with a fenced dog park right next door, so you can ride while the dog runs.
Trail details
This isn’t a cross-country trail system — it’s a compact bike park you lap and session. Built by Progressive Trail Design and opened in 2015, it packs a lot into a small footprint:
- A pump track and a youth skills course for first-timers and kids.
- A set of slopestyle and dirt jump lines that step up in difficulty, from mellow rollers and berms to mandatory gaps and steep wall rides.
- The signature feature: a repurposed Arkansas & Missouri Railroad boxcar with a roller section built through it on the intermediate line.
It’s genuinely progression-friendly. Beginners can roll big berms and an optional wall ride, intermediates get the boxcar rollers, and stronger riders have gaps and steeper features to hit. Bring a hardtail, dirt jumper or trail bike — whatever you like to jump and pump.
The park / where it is
The Railyard sits in downtown Rogers, tucked below the historic district and right beside Lake Atalanta. It’s free to ride, lit at night, and has a covered pavilion with restrooms. The City of Rogers maintains it year-round. The neighboring dog park is a fenced off-leash area, which is why the full name is the Railyard Bike & Dog Park. Because it’s downtown, you’re a short pedal or drive from food, coffee and the rest of the Rogers trail network.
Connected & nearby trails
The Railyard connects straight into the Lake Atalanta Park singletrack, so you can warm up on the jumps and then head out for real dirt miles around the lake. For paved connections, the Blossom Way Trailhead links this area to the Razorback Regional Greenway, and the Horsebarn Trailhead is another greenway access point in Rogers if you want to roll paved miles between stops.
Know before you go
Dirt jumps and slopestyle lines ride best when they’re dry — give them a day or two after rain so you’re not tearing up soft lips. Wear a helmet, start on the smaller lines and work up. It’s free and open to the public, and the lights make evening sessions possible in summer. If you bring the dog, use the fenced dog park rather than the riding area so nobody gets clipped by a bike.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Railyard good for beginners and kids?

How much does it cost to ride?
Nothing. The Railyard is a free, public bike park maintained by the City of Rogers.
Is there really a dog park?
Yes. The Railyard Bike & Dog Park includes a fenced off-leash dog park next to the riding area, so you can ride while your dog runs.
Is the Railyard a mountain bike trail system?
