Trail Work Day: Volunteers Wanted
2024-08-24 08:00 - 12:00
City of NLR to hold work day on Trails

The North Little Rock Parks and Recreation Department is holding a Volunteer Work Day on Saturday, August 24th beginning at 8:00 am at the Burns Park Equestrian Trail Head located at 4700 Joe Poch Road. This volunteer trail maintenance work day will help continue the recovery effort of the trails from last year’s tornado in converting them to a family friendly experience. We are seeking volunteers to do some trail maintenance: raking loose rocks off the trail, lopping limbs and leaves off trees, removing a few rocks or pounding rocks, clearing out limbs and lots to improve water flow, and other small activities. If you come, we strongly suggest you bring gloves, water, safety glasses, sunscreen, sturdy boots/shoes (not flipflops), and insect protection. Feel free to bring any tools you like to use.

In the past, the trails were challenging for mountain bike riders as well as younger walkers. North Little Rock Parks and Recreation is changing the natural surface trails in Burns Park. We are keeping our diverse trail users such as walkers, dog walkers, runners, and bike and horse riders. Trail users have praised the changes, and we are now seeing six-year-old kids participating in mountain bike riding, young mountain bike club members are training on the new trails, and families are mountain bike riding or hiking together. Events scheduled on the trails include Hash House Harriers, Feel the Burn Trail Runs for 10K, 30K, and 50K distances, and a lot of people from around central Arkansas are planning to use the new trails. We look forward to working with you on the trails in Burns Park on Saturday, August 24th, and also see families and outdoors folks out on the trails year-round!

The new fire station at 1000 Blaze Drive in North Little Rock is a 7,600 square foot structure located off Arkansas Highway 165 and will serve residents and businesses in the east part of North Little Rock. The site was selected because it will provide quick access to Highways 165 and 391 as well as U.S. Interstate 440 which will enable the North Little Rock Fire Department to quickly respond to all parts of Ward 2. The station is an upgrade from 2,000 square foot house that had a detached engine bay. The new, more efficient, modern two-bay fire station with allow room to grow as the east part of our city continues to develop. One engine and three firefighters will occupy the new station with plans of adding an aerial truck in the future. The new station includes: five bedrooms, watch office, ready room, kitchen, dining area, two pull-through apparatus bays, decontamination corridor, safe room, and gym. The modern industrial design of the new station matches its location and will help encourage further commercial and residential growth in Ward 2. The total cost of the new station is $4.9 million and was funded by the half cent sales tax approved by North Little Rock voters. Bunny Brown with Jackson Brown and Palculict Architects designed the station and CBM Construction was the construction manager.
