Fayetteville park undergoes improvements this summer
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Bryce Davis Park will undergo some major upgrades this summer, according to a Wednesday news release.
A groundbreaking ceremony set for Friday, May 30, will implement the feedback gathered during the 2023 Bryce Davis Park Master Plan process.
The 26-acre park is home to the city's first off-leash dog park, IAMS Park, which will undergo a series of enhancements starting in the eastern and western sections that include:
Shade structures over the existing playground;
New pavilions at both the playground and dog park;
A dog wash station;
Accessibility upgrades at the dog park;
Trail lighting for improved visibility and safety;
Additional playground amenities; and
Renovations to the wetland overlook pavilion (built in 2012).

These improvements reflect the city's commitment to addressing high-priority needs expressed by the community, specifically focusing on shade, accessibility and long-term infrastructure enhancements, Park Planner Zach Foster said in the release.
During construction, temporary fencing and paths will be installed as needed. The playground will remain open until construction requires its closure. Residents may notice increased construction traffic in the area throughout the project.
