We had such a blast at Rec Fest this past Saturday (9/6)!

Athletes got to rotate through a variety of fun stations—basketball, pickleball, volleyball, yoga, and even a Live Healthy station. With the help of our amazing volunteers, they learned new skills, played a few games, and had so much fun along the way.

Thank you to Special Olympics Arkansas for letting us host this wonderful event-we loved being part of such a fun day!❤️

We are always grateful for opportunities to see our community active, engaged, and having fun together!

Congratulations Progressive Trail Design! 🚵🎉

Benton, Arkansas - Benton Proud
Benton Area Chamber of Commerce

We are beyond ecstatic to announce that Progressive Trail Design will Design + Build the XCO Mountain Bike Course at Pacific Palms Resort (📍City of Industry) — the official venue for mountain biking at the LA28 Olympic Games! ✨🚵‍♀️🚵

This moment has been many years in the making — and it couldn’t come at a more meaningful time. It also coincides with our 20th anniversary as a company, representing the pinnacle of everything we’ve worked toward since our humble beginnings in Bentonville, Arkansas.

We are deeply grateful for our partnership with the City of Industry, Pacific Palms Resort, and ABA ETHOS. Together, we’re creating not only the best Olympic mountain bike course ever built, but also a lasting legacy for riders, fans, and the community to enjoy for generations to come.

Trail……………………….

Dear Valued Member,

An upcoming adjustment to membership fees will take effect on October 1, 2025.

This decision was made after careful consideration. It ensures the continuation and expansion of high-quality programs, services, and facilities at River Center. Due to rising operational costs and no fee increases since our opening in 2017, this adjustment is both necessary and timely.

If you currently have a pre-paid annual membership at the River Center, your rate will remain the same until your membership expires. Monthly draft memberships will be affected beginning October 1. Please note, there will be no rate changes for Senior, Corporate, Military, or Rate Lock memberships that are in good standing.

We understand that price changes may raise questions. Please don’t hesitate to contact our staff at parks@bentonar.org — we’re happy to help.

Thank you for being a vital part of the community. We appreciate your continued support!
