T
here’s nothing like it anywhere else in Arkansas. The new, dirt jump bike park in Downtown Rogers, funded in part by The Walton Family Foundation and connected to the Lake Atalanta trail system, opens with a Grand
Opening and Ribbon Cutting on November 7. The bike park will be yet another piece of the puzzle in furthering Northwest Arkansas’ transformation into a cycling destination. Located only blocks from the Arkansas-Missouri railroad, the park is called “The Rail-
