The new Sasaki renderings for 30 Crossing Park reveal a once-in-a-generation chance to transform a central piece of downtown into an iconic park and recreation space for Little Rock.

This land — gifted by ARDOT to the city exclusively for public use — is being reimagined as a Welcoming Waterfront, where everyone can gather, play and connect.

✨ Think boardwalks and floating docks
🚣 Kayak and paddleboard launches
🧗 Climbing towers, shaded plazas and outdoor dining right on the water’s edge

We're so excited about this vision to make the Arkansas River not just something to admire, but a destination for all. What part are you most excited for?

We're just one week away from One Day, One U of A, a 24-hour giving event on April 10! This is your chance to support the Fay Jones School’s summer Design Camp program.

With your help, we aim to raise $8,500 to provide scholarships for students to attend our two-week, immersive Advanced Camp. Your gift will help encourage future designers and ensure access for talented students who may not otherwise have the opportunity.

Please visit our One Day, One U of A event giving page, which provides more information on Design Camp and suggested giving levels. It can be accessed and reviewed now, but will only be active and available for giving on April 10, 2025 (from 12:01 a.m. until 11:59 p.m.).
