Sports teams of the University of Arkansas. Normally play at the school's Fayetteville campus, but play one or two home football games each season at War Memorial Stadium, and occasional men's basketball games at Simmons Bank Arena.
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.
