Lawrence Plaza is downtown Bentonville’s seasonal gathering spot — a compact multi-use facility just north of the square that transforms with the seasons: an outdoor ice rink in winter and a splash park in summer. It’s a family favorite year-round and a fun stop before or after exploring the square.
Winter: Ice Skating
From late fall through winter, Lawrence Plaza becomes an outdoor ice rink in the heart of downtown — a festive way to spend a cold evening, with skate rental available. It pairs perfectly with holiday events on the square.
Summer: Splash Park
When it warms up, the same space becomes a splash park where kids can cool off among the fountains — a great free break during a downtown day.
Cost, Parking & Location
The splash park is free; ice skating has an admission/skate-rental fee in season. Lawrence Plaza sits just north of the Bentonville square at NE A and Blake Streets, with downtown public parking nearby.
