Pavilion

Just steps from the parking lot, the award-winning Osage Park pavilion offers a shaded retreat for gathering, relaxing, and taking in the views. It’s also home to the park’s modern restrooms and serves as a central hub for visitors. Right next door, you’ll find a rotating selection of local favorites at our food truck court, including Mymito food truck, Manduca Tacos, and Oh, Snap ice cream.

Pickleball Courts

Tap into your competitive side with America’s fastest-growing sport! Osage Park features eight pickleball courts available on a first-come, first-served basis. Courts are outfitted with wooden fencing, paddle racks by NEXTuP, benches, picnic tables, night lighting, and convenient waste bins for a top-tier playing experience.

The back four pickleball courts are reserved for Osage Park pickleball lessons on Monday evenings from 6pm-9pm.

 

Dog Park

Bring your pup along for the adventure! Designed for dogs of all sizes, the park includes shady spots, room to run, and a water fountain to keep pets hydrated and happy.

Playground

Take off on an adventure at Osage Park’s aviation-themed playground! Inspired by the nearby runway and the park’s ties to flight, this imaginative play space features aircraft-inspired structures, climbable wings, and elements that spark exploration and creativity. With natural shade and seating nearby, it’s the perfect place for kids to let their imaginations soar—while caregivers relax and enjoy the view.

Art at Osage Park adds a layer of creativity to the landscape, blending unexpected materials with natural surroundings. Curated in partnership with OZ Art NWA, the collection features striking sculptures like metal quilts rising from the grass, stainless steel boats, and playful stacks of rubber rings, tubes, and globes. Near the entrance, the bold Osage Park neon sign by artist Todd Sanders welcomes visitors with a vibrant glow.
