Osage Park and the Peel Compton Foundation
Osage Park is located at 700 SW 16th St, Bentonville, AR 72712 (Waze; peelcompton.org, accessed August 2026). The park is operated by the Peel Compton Foundation, which also manages Coler Mountain Bike Preserve in Bentonville (peelcompton.org, accessed August 2026). Having the same nonprofit steward both sites means visitors familiar with one are likely to find a similar level of upkeep and programming at the other.

What's at Osage Park
Osage Park packs an unusually wide mix of recreation into one site: an 8-court outdoor pickleball facility, an expansive dog park, floating boardwalks around a wetland ecosystem, fishing docks, The Quiver Archery Range, walking trails, art installations, and a pavilion available for event rentals (peelcompton.org, accessed August 2026). That combination — pickleball courts a short walk from a wetland boardwalk and an archery range — is not something most single-purpose city parks attempt.
The park's stated mission is to connect the community to flight, Ozark wetlands, and outdoor recreation through an urban park combining natural and recreational experiences (peelcompton.org, accessed August 2026). For a family with different interests in the same group — one kid wanting the dog park, another wanting to try archery, an adult wanting a pickleball match — Osage Park is built so all three can happen on the same visit without driving to separate facilities.
The wetland boardwalks are a distinct feature within that mix: rather than a standard paved walking loop, they let visitors move over an active wetland ecosystem on foot, which is a different kind of nature access than most city parks in the region offer (peelcompton.org, accessed August 2026). The park's 12 acres of wetlands surround Lake Bentonville, where anglers fish for carp, sunfish, channel catfish, blue catfish and largemouth bass, and visitors can kayak, paddleboard or canoe on the lake itself (nwatravelguide.com, accessed August 2026). A paved walking path with benches circles the lake, and an airplane-shaped playground built from powder-coated steel and cargo nets gives younger kids their own dedicated area (nwatravelguide.com, accessed August 2026).
The Quiver, the park's archery range, is described as a world-class facility offering beginner-through-advanced classes for both kids and adults, and cornhole and bocce ball courts sit nearby for a lower-key activity (nwatravelguide.com, accessed August 2026). Food is available on-site from a rotating food truck area and The Louise Restaurant, and the park runs regular public programming — guided nature walks, bird watching, yoga and live music — throughout the year (nwatravelguide.com, accessed August 2026). Paired with fishing docks and floating boardwalks, that makes the wetland section of the park a destination in its own right for anyone more interested in watching birds or casting a line than playing a sport.
Bentonville's Wider Park and Trail Network
Bentonville had an estimated population of 63,057 as of July 1, 2025 (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts). The city maintains 16 parks connected by more than 40 miles of mountain-bike trails, pedestrian pathways and bikeways (Visit Bentonville, accessed August 2026), so Osage Park functions as one node in a larger, connected system rather than an isolated destination.
That density of parks relative to the city's size is one reason Bentonville's outdoor amenities get mentioned as often as they do — a resident can move between several distinct types of recreation (mountain biking, pickleball, a wetland boardwalk) without leaving the city limits, and Osage Park alone covers enough of that range to fill a full weekend on its own.
