The Bentonville Bike Playground is located just north of the city's dog park. Joplin-based Progressive Bike Ramps worked on this project along with Bentonville Parks and Recreation.

A new one-acre park features ladder bridges, dirt berms, a concrete pump track and more for the area's youngest riders. The Bentonville Bike Playground, which was designed specifically for kids, will celebrate its grand opening at 10:30 Nov. 5.

Last week, the third annual Excel by Eight Foundation’s Collaborative Summit took place in Little Rock. The event brought together business leaders, chambers of commerce and heads of nonprofits.

Still, afterward, Steve Cousins, the board chair of El Dorado-based SHARE Foundation, and Brandom Gengelbach, the president and CEO of the Greater Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce, spoke with Ozarks at Large.
