Best dog walkers in Sycamore Heights

Sycamores Heights is a newer residential neighborhood, with large brick homes and well-landscaped yards. Because it is a newly developed area, trees and landscaping are not fully mature and there is not a lot of shade for hot summer walks through the Sycamore Heights neighborhood. Be prepared with sunscreen and water. The neighborhood has sidewalks and boulevards to separate pedestrians and their canine companions from roadways, providing a safe walking area for you and your dog. The terrain is flat and makes for easy walking. Remember,  however, that a lack of mature trees and sidewalks can make for hot pavement in summer months, you may need to protect your dog's feet with doggy boots or let him walk on grassy boulevards to keep your his feet cool.  This neighborhood on the southern edge of Bentonville is surrounded by rural properties, some of which are being developed into residential neighborhoods. These connecting newer neighborhoods provide more areas to walk and explore and adjacent rural properties provide a natural feel.

Sycamore Heights is bordered to the northeast and east by Wildwood Park. This area features some commercial development, churches, and restaurants but also a 1.5-acre park. The park has tennis courts, a picnic area with a pavilion, playground equipment, and bathrooms. There is a water fountain and small lake, which can provide some nice cool spray and a swimming opportunity for a water-loving pooch on a hot summer day, and a dog station to dispose of doggy waste. It is always a good idea to bring your own water as bacteria and other harmful organisms can be present in small lakes and you may want to discourage your dog from drinking from unknown water sources. Nearby rural properties give this area a country feel, and there are large yards and boulevards to enjoy on walks though Sycamore Heights, just be sure to keep your dog on public boulevards not private roads. There are plenty of other parks in Bentonville within easy driving distance. Bella Vista Park in the northeast is a 132-acre park with lots of trees, trails, and a lake and makes an ideal destination on hot days, or just for a change of scenery on a cool winter day.
