North Little Rock

Argenta is one of the oldest preserved neighborhoods in central Arkansas. The neighborhood is a wonderful example of revitalization efforts, where citizens and the Main Street program have worked together since the mid-1990s to turn a neighborhood completely around.

Tour the World War II-era submarine USS Razorback, named after a red-skinned South Pacific whale, not the University of Arkansas mascot (submarines were named after aquatic animals during World War II). Touring the submarine requires climbing ladders and passing through narrow, enclosed spaces. This tour is not recommended for children under the age of 5 or for persons who are claustrophobic. Appropriate footwear and clothing are also necessary: no high heels, flip-flop shoes, or long skirts.

One of the largest city parks in the country, alongside the Arkansas River. Two golf courses, hiking and bike trails, playgrounds, soccer fields, baseball fields, and a miniature amusement park. It's also home to part of the Arkansas River Trail (see next section), that crosses the Arkansas River over the Big Dam Bridge. And don't forget to check out the 'rocket slide' around that place.

National Guard base with on-site museum (free admission) open to the public.

Hosts the Arkansas Travelers baseball team (see "Do" below).

In the neighboring town of Jacksonville is the Department of Defense's only C-130 training facility, and has the Air Force's largest fleet of the type.

Famous for having been in the introductory scenes of the movie Gone With the Wind (for about six seconds).

This 18,000-seat indoor arena, renamed in 2019 from Verizon Arena, is second base to the Little Rock Trojans and Arkansas Razorbacks basketball teams (see "Do" below), and also hosts concerts, ice shows, and other events.
