TL;DR: Granton Park is one of three named parks providing boat-launch access to Loch Lomond, Bella Vista's largest POA lake, alongside Tiree Park and a ramp off Stoneykirk Drive (Bella Vista Property Owners Association, bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/lakes/boating/, accessed August 2026).
Boat Launch Access at Granton Park
Granton Park is one of three named parks providing boat-launch access to Loch Lomond, alongside Tiree Park and a ramp off Stoneykirk Drive (Bella Vista Property Owners Association, bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/lakes/boating/ and bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/lakes/, accessed August 2026). Per the POA's own lakes page, these three locations together offer boat ramps with courtesy docks, fishing piers, picnic tables, grills and restrooms (bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/lakes/, accessed August 2026) -- a fuller set of amenities than a bare boat ramp, worth knowing if you're planning more than a quick launch.

Granton Park is also listed among the POA's named parks and recreation areas on its parks and pavilions page (bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/recreation/parkspavilions/, accessed August 2026). The boat ramp itself is open access for POA members, but pavilion reservations for POA facilities are handled separately through the Bella Vista Recreation Center at (479) 855-8170 -- worth knowing if you're planning a group outing rather than just launching a boat.
Loch Lomond: Bella Vista's Largest Lake
Loch Lomond is Bella Vista's largest POA-managed lake at 477 acres, the biggest of the community's seven lakes, which range from Lake Norwood at 33 acres up to Loch Lomond itself (Bella Vista POA, bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/lakes/; Bella Vista Weekly Vista, March 2021). That size is part of why it has three separate boat-launch points rather than just one. Bella Vista's other lakes -- Lake Ann, Lake Avalon, Lake Brittany, Lake Norwood, Lake Rayburn and Lake Windsor -- round out the POA's seven-lake system, each with its own access points and amenities (Bella Vista POA, bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/lakes/, accessed August 2026).
The lake also has a marina at Lakepoint, off Marina Drive, offering boat and kayak rentals, a bait and tackle shop, and a fishing dock (Bella Vista Property Owners Association, bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/lakes/boating/, accessed August 2026). Lakepoint Restaurant, a POA-operated lakeside restaurant and event center, sits nearby at 101 Marina Dr, Bella Vista, AR (bellavistapoa.com and discoverbellavistaar.com/dine/, checked August 2026) -- a place to eat after a day at Granton Park rather than heading back into town.
How the POA Manages Lake Access
The Bella Vista Property Owners Association governs roughly 36,000 acres and about 39,000 members, managing common-area recreation including the lakes, golf courses, pools, restaurants and trails (Bella Vista POA, via KUAF, August 2025). Granton Park, the Lakepoint marina and Lakepoint Restaurant are all part of that same shared infrastructure rather than separately owned businesses.
As of August 2025 the POA's mandatory monthly assessment was $40 for an improved lot and $16 for an unimproved lot; the outcome of a proposed increase, put to a member vote that closed August 18, 2025, was not published as of August 2026 (KUAF, August 2025). That assessment is what keeps facilities like Granton Park maintained for members.
