Blowing Springs to Metfield greenway phase II

  • The Blowing Springs to Metfield Extension will extend the Blowing Springs to Metfield greenway west and north from the Metfield Skills Park along the south side of Commonwealth Road and then north along Trafalgar Road to approximately Goldsby Drive. This will add an additional 1.5 miles of paved greenway to Bella Vista, enhancing safety and access for residents and visitors of all ages and abilities. This project has also been approved by the POA board of directors.
  • This project is in the design phase only with no plans to begin construction yet. Funding for the design work has been provided by Tom Walton, Steuart Walton and other private grants.

Razorback Greenway phase III

  • The Razorback Greenway Extension will extend the Razorback Greenway from Mercy Way, behind Allen’s Foods north through the closed Berksdale South Golf Course to the new trailhead on Berksdale West/Riordan Road. This will add an additional mile of Razorback Greenway to Bella Vista and further progress on extending this regional trail to the Missouri border. This is part of the Master Trail Plan adopted by City Council in 2015 and has been approved by the POA board of directors.

Public art installationsTrail tunnel art

  • The Bella Vista Arts Council is always seeking new opportunities to add art to the public trail system. Recently, they installed the “Journey of Oz” mosaic mural on the Tweety Bird tunnel. Designed and installed by resident artist Stevie Stevens, the mosaic represents the ever-changing beauty of the “Oz Trails” in Bella Vista.
  • The Bella Vista Arts Council installed several sculptures along the new Bluebird Sculpture Trail, which was officially unveiled May 11, 2023.
