Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reserve a pavilion or park space?

Reservations can be made here or by calling the Parks front desk at (501) 943-0444.

How far in advance can I make a reservation?

This varies by the type of reservation. Please call the Parks front desk at (501) 943-0444 to get assistance with finding a space and time that can accommodate your event. 

Can I host a birthday party or event at a park?

Yes, we have spaces available for pavilion birthday parties, indoor pool, splash pad, and Mills Park Pool parties (seasonal), and event rooms available to rent in The Center at Bishop Park. 

Are grills or open flames allowed in parks?

There is a grill located at Mills Park attached to the large pavilion. 

Designated Areas Only: Grilling is allowed only in park-provided grills or personal grills that are elevated, safe, and stable. 

No Ground Fires: Open flames, fire pits, or bonfires on the ground are prohibited. 

Coal Disposal: Do not place hot coals in trash cans or leave them on the ground. 

Clean-Up: Clean grill grates before leaving and take all trash with you. 

Safety Requirements: Never leave a lit grill unattended. Keep children and pets away from the hot area. 

Restrictions: Local authorities may ban grilling during high-fire-risk, dry seasons.

Are bounce houses, tents, or inflatables allowed?

Alongside a pavilion/field/facility reservation, written permission must be obtained from the Bryant Parks Department in order to have these items. 

Can I play amplified music or use speakers?

The Bryant Aquatic Center does not allow the use of personal speakers or amplified music. For other parks, it is dependent on the nature of the activity. Patrons must be in compliance with the City of Bryant noise ordinance and not disturbing other park patrons. 

Are there restrictions on sports or field use?

Yes, with contractual use agreements in place, fields are reserved by Parks partner organizations during their programming. In addition, fields can be rented by patrons at which time they will be granted a permit allowing them the right to the field. If a sports field is chalked, it is to be assumed that it has been prepared for a game and is closed to open play. 

How do I sign up for leagues, classes, or camps?

Are there programs for kids or seniors?

Yes, Parks offers programs and activities for all ages, from swim babies to our Senior Adult Center!
