The City of Little Rock features over 60 parks and recreational areas. Boyle Park is a 250 ac / 1.2 km² urban park with amenities such as a small wildlife pond, a playground, picnic tables, parking, restroom, pavilions, paved trails, earthen trails, jogging, hiking and mountain biking trails. Boyle Park has a series of three trials, providing with some great riding to the biking enthusiasts.
Loop One is a great trail for beginners. Almost all singletrack, can be ridden fast and can be as aerobically challenging as you want to make it. Loop One is not technically challenging but it hosts lots of twisting turns which are great, if you want to bottle up your cornering capabilities. You will enjoy a long, mostly flat run through the trees. All loops can be ridden both ways and if you feel confident enough, you can try different loops where you can enjoy some really good climbs.
