Grantee: City of Bentonville

Design Firm: Design Workshop

The Quilt of Parks is a master plan that threaded together six downtown open spaces into a cohesive experience for residents and visitors to Bentonville, including Lawrence Plaza, the downtown Square, Dave Peel Park, Town Branch Park, The Commons and Activity Center Park.

The A Street Promenade, opened in 2025, transformed the central spine connecting these public spaces from a roadway to a pedestrian plaza including renovations of Lawrence Plaza on the north to the under-construction reimagined Dave Peel Park and Playground.

The new and renovated park spaces expand areas for festivals, markets, cultural events and daily gatherings.
