Washburn Park is a peaceful and scenic location ideal for picnics and relaxation. Nestled between Lake Dardanelle and the Bona Dea trails, it offers a lovely setting with plenty of shade from trees. Visitors enjoy the easy trails, which provide beautiful views and access to a swampy area. The park features a small playground for children, clean toilets, and picnic tables, making it a suitable spot for families. During events like the eclipse, the park has ample parking and facilities that can accommodate a larger crowd. Although the trails lack clear maps, they remain pleasant for walking and exploring. Overall, Washburn Park is a charming getaway that provides a nice escape close to the highway.
Terrific place for strolling, jogging, or watching wildlife from a nice paved trail in a wetlands environment.

We visited recently and accessed the trail. The restrooms were clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Nice peaceful setting. A pleasant location for a picnic or just relaxing. Lake Dardanelle is on one side and the Bona Dia trails are on the other. I noticed yesterday that the city is installing playground equipment!
