Gulley Park — short paved perimeter return
Arkansas · Greenway
Join the signed paved main perimeter path at Gulley Park. Follow it for up to 0.4 mile in either permitted direction and retrace, staying clear of event grounds, the teaching farm and unpaved creek branches. This is a short return rather than a claim that competing full-loop lengths agree.

Reviewed 2026-10-22. City permits bicycles on paved shared-use park paths. The named trail profile describes a 0.85-mile loop plus 0.30-mile extension, while the general park page gives 1.5 miles. Those versions are not added or averaged; this short return stays within the shorter basis. Check current master-plan work and park signs. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
