TL;DR: There's no facility officially named "Loch Lomond Park" on bellavistapoa.com -- the POA calls this area below the Loch Lomond Dam the "Loch Lomond Walking Trail," a paved trail that loops around a softball field, and it's what most people mean by the name.
What's Actually There, and What It's Really Called
Worth knowing up front: the Bella Vista POA doesn't have a facility officially named "Loch Lomond Park." Its own 'Welcome to Bella Vista' booklet calls the area below the Loch Lomond Dam the Loch Lomond Walking Trail -- a paved trail nearly 3,300 feet long that loops around a softball field, with parking available (Bella Vista Property Owners Association, 'Welcome to Bella Vista' booklet, bellavistapoa.com, accessed August 2026). A 2019 local-news article calls the same spot the 'Loch Lomond Recreation Complex,' and describes a softball field, the paved walking trail, a pavilion with 10 tables, and restrooms, with the pavilion available for rental through the Bella Vista Recreation Center (Bella Vista Neighbors, July 2019).
Whatever you call it, the pavilion is rentable, the trail is public to POA members, and it sits right below the dam -- easy enough to find once you know the official name doesn't match what a search might turn up. Discover Bella Vista, Arkansas has more on the surrounding city.
What It Costs to Use -- and What It Doesn't
There's no separate admission fee for the walking trail or softball field -- access comes bundled with Bella Vista POA membership, which is mandatory for most property owners in the city. The pavilion is the one piece with its own cost: it's rentable through the Bella Vista Recreation Center, (479) 855-8170, for anyone planning an event rather than just a walk.
The Bella Vista K9 Corral Dog Park, a separate POA-members-only facility, is also located at the base of the Loch Lomond Dam near this same trail and softball field (Bella Vista Weekly Vista, May 2023) -- another amenity bundled into the same membership rather than billed separately.
The Real Cost of Access: the POA Assessment
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). As of August 2025 the 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, not a park entrance fee, is the real monthly cost tied to using this trail, the softball field, and every other shared POA amenity in Bella Vista. Loch Lomond itself is the largest of the POA's seven lakes at 477 acres (Bella Vista POA, bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/lakes/; Bella Vista Weekly Vista, March 2021), and that scale is part of why the dam-area recreation complex ended up as substantial as it did. The lake's own boat-launch parks -- Tiree Park, Granton Park and a ramp off Stoneykirk Drive -- are a separate set of amenities from the walking-trail area below the dam, so don't confuse the two if you're trying to find either one -- they're both on Loch Lomond, but on opposite ends of the lake.
