Picture a modern urban area surrounded by natural countryside…a city offering all the conveniences of metropolitan living, while maintaining hometown values. That's North Little Rock! It's your metropolitan hometown. Located in the center of Arkansas' business and cultural hub, North Little Rock lies just across the Arkansas River from Little Rock, the state capitol. The Little Rock/North Little Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) has a population of more than 569,447. This area is commonly known as "The Greater Little Rock Area" and is currently ranked among the top 100 U.S. markets. North Little Rock citizens enjoy many recreational, cultural, and entertainment attractions with their families. Weekends might be spent playing tennis, jogging, or boating on area lakes, maybe even getting in a few rounds of golf on the championship-caliber course at Burns Park. Or perhaps a few hours might be devoted to shopping at McCain Mall, the state's largest indoor mall; traveling across the river for an evening at the opera, ballet, or symphony. Recreation and tourism facilities abound and are publicized by the city operated Advertising and Promotion Commission. The city operates a total of 33 parks with a total of 1,833 acres, which include lodges, hunting, fishing, boating, camping-facilities, RV hookups, marinas, public beaches, and playgrounds.
