Fayetteville, Arkansas, is known for lots of things. Among them the University of Arkansas, the first home of Bill and Hillary Clinton, walkable (and bikeable) streets, and great civic buildings like Walton Arts Center. There, residents now have a new public amenity to enjoy: a gleaming public park designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architecture (NBW). The Ramble opened in phases over five years. It consists of two parts the Upper and Lower Ramble. The latter completed in 2022 and the former opened this year. Combined, the Upper and Lower Ramble comprise 50 acres of public outdoor space.The Ramble has meandering trails for all to enjoy. (Nick Hubbard)The Upper Ramble is bordered by Dickson Street, West Avenue, Spring Street, and the Razorback Greenway. Parallel to West Avenue is a 20-foot wide pedestrian promenade lined by shading trees. The landscape architects designed the greenspace with integrated lighting and seating.The Upper Ramble is bordered by Dickson Street, West Avenue, Spring Street, and the Razorback Greenway. (Nick Hubbard)The promenade will host a variety of uses, including tents for markets and festival circuits. Meanwhile, the portion West Avenue between Dickson Avenue and Spring Street is closed off to traffic. The Ramble is a celebration of Fayettevilles unique natural and cultural heritage, Thomas Woltz, a senior principal at NBW, said in a statement.Rock outcroppings double as informal seating. (Nick Hubbard)Working closely with the city and the community, Woltz added, weve created a space where people can gather, explore, and connect both with one another and with the environment in meaningful ways. Its a privilege to contribute to a project that not only enhances the citys landscape but also inspires a deeper appreciation for its natural beauty. The natural and constructed blend into one in the park. (Nick Hubbard)The new park links a handful of Fayettevilles key cultural buildings, including the Walton Arts Center, TheatreSquare, Fayetteville Public Library, and University of Arkansass Art and Design District. Community engagement activities, entertainment, and other happenings will take place in the park year-round.Walking paths can also be activated by the community. (Nick Hubbard)One of the Rambles defining features is its 20,000-square-foot gathering lawn, which is big enough to host 3,000 people. Shaded seating lines the lawn.An event stage on the lawn is expected to open in 2026. That space will accommodate performances, events, and more. In Fayetteville, the Ramble is ready for just about anything.
