As one of the anchor components of MacArthur Park, the Little Rock Firehouse
Hostel and Museum supports the application for a Certificate of Appropriateness
requested by Little Rock Parks & Recreation and endorsed by the MacPark
Group and the City Parks Conservancy, for the MacArthur Park Unlimited

Located near the center of the park, the MacArthur Park Unlimited Playground
presents a new activity to enhance Little Rock's oldest park. The perimeter of
MacArthur Park features the new Arkansas Arts Center, the MacArthur Museum
of Arkansas, Multi -Use Courts, the MacArthur Unleashed Dog Park, and the
