Bell Park / Ed Wilkinson Pavilion

Nestled in the heart of Bell Park, the Senator Ed Wilkinson Community Pavilion is one of Greenwood's premier destinations for weddings, receptions, reunions, banquets, showers, and celebrations of all kinds.

Featuring nearly 4,000 square feet of climate-controlled indoor space, the Pavilion accommodates up to 299 guests. Expansive glass doors open on two sides of the building, connecting the indoor gathering space with the beautiful outdoor setting and nearby amphitheater.

The Amphitheater is located behind the Ed Wilkinson Pavilion and will be the site of concerts and weddings for years to come. The Amphitheater will currently seat approximately 325 people. Total cost of the project was $180,000. The Bell Park Foundation funded most of the project contributing $100,000 with the City funded the other portion with money allocated from the 3/4 cent sales tax.

The amphitheater can only be reserved in conjunction with the Ed Wilkinson Pavilion, so all rental rates mentioned above apply. For more information please contact the Parks Director at 479-357-1135.

The Bell Park splash pad in Greenwood, AR is a popular, family-friendly water feature designed for younger kids and casual summer play. It typically includes ground-level spray elements — like fountains, jets, and interactive water features — rather than a traditional pool, making it safer and easier for all ages to use. It’s located within Bell Park near other amenities (like playgrounds and open space), so families can make a full outing of it.

The splash pad is seasonal, usually open during the warmer months, and operates as a free or low-cost recreational option, giving residents a convenient way to cool off without needing a staffed aquatic facility. Overall, it’s a low-maintenance, high-use amenity that supports community gathering, summer programming (like camps and events), and accessible play for kids.

Effective August 16, 2016 a $25 rental fee per four hour block for Pavilion #1 or $50 for all day rental

The Promenade is connected to the Multi-purpose City Trail system by way of an Eagle Scout project?

Eagle Scout Dax Lewis managed the construction and building of a switch back nature trail connection, that begins just behind the Jewel Bell #1 Pavilion.

This nature trail leads down a scenic path, beside rock formations and a small cave areas, before reaching the City Trail. Turning right on the trail leads back to the downtown area and left continues down the trail returning to the Basketball and Pickleball courts in Bell Park.

From this location, by turning left a City sidewalk leads out of the Park to N. Main Street, then taking a right on the Main Street sidewalk will lead back to the downtown area, at Memorial Square.
