Little Rock has received a major boost for one of its most anticipated green-space projects: a $30 million grant from the Bezos Earth Fund to help bring the 30 Crossing Park to life. The announcement, reported by multiple local outlets including KARK, KATV, and THV11, marks a significant milestone for a city that has long envisioned a transformative new park for its residents.
The 30 Crossing Park project is now considerably closer to reality thanks to the landmark donation. The Bezos Earth Fund, which focuses on new parks and restored urban wildlife habitats, selected Little Rock as a recipient, signaling national confidence in the city’s vision for expanding public green space.
For Little Rock families, the grant represents the promise of a new outdoor destination — a place to gather, play, and connect with nature right in the heart of the city. Parks of this scale can reshape neighborhoods, encourage healthy activity, and strengthen community bonds for generations to come.
The City of Little Rock’s Parks and Recreation Commission has already been meeting to discuss master planning, and this infusion of funding is expected to accelerate those efforts. Little Rock residents and city leaders alike have reason to celebrate as this ambitious project moves from vision to reality.
