With a grant from the Walton Family Foundation, the City of Rogers, Arkansas embarked on a project to recenter their downtown with a new park that enhances economic development, spurs placemaking, and improves connectivity. Situated on the east boundary of Rogers’ historic downtown district, the new park designed by Ross Barney Architects has the potential to capitalize on recent public space investments and help to make downtown Rogers a regional destination.
