Allsopp Trail

In 2020, the City of Little Rock, with support from Metroplan Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding, connected the Hillcrest Business District to the existing Allsopp Park Trail and the core of Allsopp Park South with a concrete trail (Figs. 1-4).  The trail provides pedestrian access from Hillcrest to Allsopp Park (there are no sidewalks along Cedar Hill Rd.) and a safer, more direct bicycle connection from the Hillcrest Business District to Allsopp Park and the Arkansas River Trail.

The new Allsopp Trail starts at the western end of the Allsopp Promenade.
