This gem of a park is on the Arkansas side of Texarkana. It features multiple playgrounds, two pavilions (which you can rent), and an almost one mile (paved) walking trail. There is also Lake Dieffenbacher which is stocked for fishing (Arkansas fishing license required for 18 and up) and it is also home to some of the cutest baby geese this time of year. It's a delightful spot to get some fresh air, observe some nature and enjoy time outside.
