In 2021 the City of Fayetteville announced the opening of the first 58 acres of Underwood Park at the former Razorback Golf Course on Dean Solomon Road. The park includes 38 acres, donated by the Underwood family, and another 20 acres that are available through a lease agreement that provides for public use at no cost. Additional land to the south will be dedicated in order to meet the city’s park land dedication requirement. Once complete, the park will include just over 65 acres.
Underwood Park sits along Clabber Creek, a tributary of the Illinois River, and has the Clabber Creek Bike Trail running through it. We were honored and eager to hop on board when the City of Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Department asked us to produce a masterplan for the future park. After a series of public input sessions that focused on gathering feedback on park programming, nature immersion, socail, and active living elements, the masterplan was presented to the community.
The masterplan draft merged the three themes of nature, play, and active living. If you live in the Northwest Arkansas Area, visit the City of Fayetteville's website and take the survey to give us your input on Underwood!!
