Good news for soccer fans!

The City of North Little Rock will open the soccer complex in Burns Park to motor vehicular traffic via Championship and Tournament Drive only Tuesday morning, December 5. Soccer play will begin Tuesday night with practices. Entry and exit to the soccer complex vehicular traffic will be via Championship and Tournament Drive only. Arlene Laman will still be closed due to the hazardous roads. Foot and bike traffic should be mindful of vehicular traffic and consider that drivers might be distracted viewing the area. The fencing that has been in place since the March 31 tornado restricting walkers and bikers from leaving the river trail will be removed which will allow entry to the roads and trails around soccer to be utilized.

BURNS PARK IS CLOSED TO ALL FOOT TRAFFIC, BICYCLIST, MOTOR VEHICLES AND SIGHTSEERS!!

BURNS PARK IS CLOSED TO ALL FOOT TRAFFIC, BICYCLIST, MOTOR VEHICLES AND SIGHTSEERS!!
We need your help in keeping everyone safe at Burns Park. The park is closed, and it is not safe for the public to enter. We have crews clearing debris from the park, clearing the trails of fallen trees, and breaking down debris from the affected areas.
This process involves large equipment and oversized vehicles. We ask that the public not enter the park via roadways or trails until the park is re-opened. This is for the public's safety and the safety of the crews.
We will release updates on the park's status on our social media platforms and the North Little Rock city website. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this time.

For field conditions, please call 501-798-0200 or visit http://rainoutline.com and search for "North Little Rock" - you can then sign up to receive text or email alerts as the field conditions are updated.

The Fourth of July is coming up. This friendly reminder that shooting fireworks in the city limits is illegal. Saturday, come on down to the Riverfront to watch the big firework show. That one is legal and really cool.

Good Luck to all the teams playing this weekend. Play well and have fun.
