Facts & Rules

The Park at West End is a pocket park of concentrated vintage charm on the west end of historic Garrison Avenue in downtown Fort Smith, Arkansas. An iconic 56-foot Ferris wheel that was built by the Eli Bridge Company. The Ferris wheel is 56 feet tall and holds up to 32 passengers.

 

The Ferris Wheel offers an unparalleled view of downtown Fort Smith, the Fort Smith National Historic Site, and the Arkansas River. The park's carousel, built and hand-painted by the Bertazzon Company in Treviso, Italy, brings old-fashioned joy to riders of all ages. A covered arcade provides wholesome entertainment for kids and teenagers.
