A community named after Highway 62
Fayetteville's West 62 neighborhood is named after U.S. Highway 62, also known as M.L.K. Boulevard, which bisects the vast area. The thoroughfare is lined with big-box stores and roads leading to newer subdivisions. But much of it still feels rural, especially south of Highway 62, where dense forests and trees blend into Kessler Mountain Regional Park. "This part of the city has a lot of development," says Adam Flemming, a Fayetteville resident and Realtor with Keller Williams Market Pro Realty. "West 62 is semi-rural, but it's seeing new construction." The area sits close to the University of Arkansas and the city's extensive trail system.

An area filled with parks and preserves
Centennial Park is a unique outdoor space with courses for cyclo-cross, mountain biking and running. "It's a park that hosted a cyclo-cross world championship in 2022," Flemming says. The park's trails have varied surfaces, including dirt and rock courses. "The city is also working on connecting Centennial Park with the tunnel that goes under I-49," Flemming says. "That will connect to the trails that runs east-west to the University." Charles J. Finger Park has a short path for mountain biking and hiking. The area has a basketball court, picnic area and playgrounds. To the west is Woolsey Wet Prairie, a 44-acre wetland preserve that also acts as an outdoor space for birdwatching and fishing. Further south awaits the expansive 400-acre Kessler Mountain Regional Park.
Kessler Mountain Regional Park, located on and around its namesake, covers some 620 acres.
