The Promenade at Bell Park is a Paved Walkway approximately .25 mile, along the edge of atop Bell Park offering a view of all Greenwood and beyond. The Promenade is a result of a $125,000. 50\50 matching Outdoor Recreation Grants Program from the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism. Our match came from the 1/3 of the ¾ cent sales tax the Parks Department receives each year. The total cost of the project will be a little over $300.000.
