Live Life in Little Rock

Little Rock offers older adults a welcoming blend of scenic riverfronts, accessible art museums, vibrant local markets, and enriching wellness programs—all in a friendly, easy-to-navigate city that invites active living at a comfortable pace.

Begin your day with a walk along the Arkansas River Trail, a nearly 17-mile paved loop. Stroll across the Junction Bridge or Clinton Presidential Park Bridge to enjoy scenic river views and connect to both Little Rock and North Little Rock’s parks and cultural sites.  Next, explore the River Market District, where you can sample local fare at Ottenheimer Market Hall, shop seasonal favorites at the farmers' market, or browse vibrant public art installations—all within easy, walkable paths. 

Much of the city’s cultural heart lives in MacArthur Park. Spend a relaxed afternoon at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, which offers accessible galleries, docent-led tours, and museum school workshops in areas like drawing and ceramics—with senior admission rates and wheelchair access throughout. Nearby, Wildwood Park for the Arts, set on 104 wooded acres, features paved trails through garden and sculpture installations, plus outdoor performances and community art experiences that welcome all mobility levels.

Lifelong learning and social engagement are easy in Little Rock. The city's Parks & Recreation department runs "Aging & Active" programs for ages 55+, offering weekly crafts, board games, social hours, and guided day trips tailored for older adults.  In addition, LifeQuest of Arkansas offers peer-led, non-credit courses on wellness, literature, history, and more through hybrid and in-person formats—no tests, no grades. 

For creative and culinary enrichment, check out the Community Theatre of Little Rock, which hosts acting and stagecraft classes, musical events, and local theater productions in a welcoming environment. Be sure also to enjoy fresh produce, flowers, and cooking demos at the River Market Farmers’ Market (May–September), set along Riverfront Park and full of shaded seating and social energy. 

Whether you’re walking along riverside trails, browsing art gardens, learning beside peers, or sampling local cuisine, Little Rock offers older adults a welcoming, accessible lifestyle grounded in wellness, creativity, and connections.
