Link from Frisco Park to NWACC This section of the Master Loop Trail Map shows a greenway route from the Frisco Park Pavilion on First St. in downtown Rogers to the Community College, on the north side of Hudson Rd. and west of Water Tower Rd. From downtown, the route follows sections one, two, and three of the Greenway Trail, then heads north via the 100-year flood plain to Hudson Rd. (Hwy 62), then west along the highway to NWACC (in Bentonville). Total length: about four miles. Map source:

| Bob Morgan's description:
"If we connect with the Heritage Trail at Frisco Park, then the trail can
follow the Rogers trail system through downtown and connect to the Turtle
Creek trail, then follow the branch to the college. We should be
able to work with the city to designate an auto route along city streets.
Likely 1st to Walnut, Walnut to 2nd, 2nd to Olive to 26th, 26th to Hwy
102, and 102 to the College. Bikes could be routed along the greenway
trail."
This link trail was discussed at the July RG&T Committee meeting by a group including Jim Welch. It was generally agreed that it would next in line for active development after the Blossom Way Greenway is completed. Several features and possible variations were noted. For example, the city owns both Cambridge Park (green cross-hatched area south of Bekaert Drive on the map) and the newly acquired parkland along Hwy 62 from Dixieland to 24th St., excluding the two corner parcels. Perhaps these could be connected or incorporated. Note: The map is scaled for readability; it measures about 14x24 inches. You should be able to scroll across it.
