1. Take Part in Earth Day at the Zoo in Little Rock, AR

The zoo in War Memorial Park is a wonderful place to visit at any time of year, but don’t miss this spring’s Party for the Planet to celebrate Earth Day on April 22.

2. Go Bass Fishing in Lake Cherrywood Park

Angling is open to anyone with a fishing license in Sherwood all year, but spring is the best time to catch bass, and Lake Cherrywood Park is the perfect place to try. It’s located on Summit Street and offers fishing from the banks, fishing pier, or boats. Largemouth bass are plentiful, and the serene surroundings let you escape the hustle and bustle for a peaceful afternoon.

3. Photo Opportunities at the Old Mill

Located in the TR Pugh Memorial Park at 3800 Lakeshore Drive in North Little Rock, it’s a lovely place to stroll, or to sit with a book and enjoy the fresh air. With bridges sculpted by Dionicio Rodriguez and the recreated nineteenth-century grist mill to admire, it’s a great place to take photographic memories of this year’s springtime.
