TL;DR: "Loch Lomond Park" isn't an official POA facility name -- the area below the Loch Lomond Dam is the POA's own "Loch Lomond Walking Trail," with a softball field, pavilion and a nearby dog park, worth knowing about if you're getting oriented to Bella Vista.

Getting Oriented: What's Below the Loch Lomond Dam

If you're new to Bella Vista and searching for "Loch Lomond Park," it's worth knowing that's not the POA's own name for anything here. The POA's 'Welcome to Bella Vista' booklet describes a paved walking trail below the Loch Lomond Dam, 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,' listing a softball field, the paved trail, a pavilion with 10 tables, and restrooms, with the pavilion rentable through the Bella Vista Recreation Center (Bella Vista Neighbors, July 2019).

What Else Is Nearby

Adjacent to the trail and softball field, the Bella Vista K9 Corral Dog Park operates as a separate, POA-members-only facility at the base of the Loch Lomond Dam (Bella Vista Weekly Vista, May 2023) -- worth a look if you have a dog and are scoping out this part of town.

The trail sits alongside Loch Lomond itself, the largest of the POA's seven lakes at 477 acres (Bella Vista POA, bellavistapoa.com/thingstodo/lakes/; Bella Vista Weekly Vista, March 2021). If lake access matters to you too, see our featured listings for homes currently on the market nearby.

Schools and Recreation Governance Nearby

Bella Vista's public education is split among three districts: Bentonville Public Schools covers the majority of the city, Pea Ridge Public Schools serves the far east side, and Gravette Public Schools covers the west side (City of Bella Vista, bellavistaar.gov, accessed August 2026). Which district covers a specific address near Loch Lomond is worth confirming directly rather than assuming from the map.

Recreation across the city, including this trail and softball field, is managed by the Bella Vista Property Owners Association, which oversees roughly 36,000 acres and about 39,000 members, governing common-area amenities including 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) -- worth asking about directly if you're weighing a move here.

Beyond the trail and dog park, Loch Lomond has its own separate set of amenities on the water itself: three named boat-launch parks -- Tiree Park, Granton Park and a ramp off Stoneykirk Drive -- plus a marina at Lakepoint with 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). Those are a different part of the lake from the walking trail below the dam, so it's worth knowing both exist if you're exploring the area.
