Carol Ann Cross Park is a lovely and very nice park with beautiful scenery and views of the Arkansas River and a big pond. It features a NEW kids play area with turf, a fence, and the newest playground toys, which is well taken care of and a family favorite. There are nice, newly paved walking and running trails, including a new shady trail, forming a nice 1-mile loop around the pond and through the woods. The park offers plenty of space for picnicking, fishing, and kayaks. It is also a very pet-friendly place to walk your dog. However, it can be pretty dirty with lots of trash in the water, and the bathrooms sometimes are not open.
