This 8,378 square foot facility officially opened Thursday August 25, 2011
and is home to the Bentonville Parks & Recreation Administrative Staff.
This center houses 2 activity rooms where scheduled classes will be held and
offered to citizens each month. Multiple fitness activities are available
for various times throughout each weekday and Saturdays. Please see "Schedule of
Wellness Classes" for class details.
Drop inn's are welcome, however, it is recommended that you
first call to confirm the class is currently active. Classes are formed
based on participation. Unfortunately there are times where there is not
enough participation to form a class and therefore must be cancelled. Each participant is required to complete
and sign a registration form
& waiver. Please bring this form with you when you come to register
for, or drop in, any class.

The following delays/closures may be possible in the event of inclement weather:
- When Bentonville Public Schools cancel school for the day, classes and programs held at the Downtown
Activity Center will also be canceled for that day.
- The Downtown Activity Center follows the same inclement weather
schedule as all of the City of Bentonville administrative offices. Therefore anytime City of Bentonville delays the start of business or
closes for the day, due to inclement weather, the Activity
Center's schedule will follow suite.
