Numerous dining options can be found along West Center Street. Follow this road to Route 71 and I-540, and you’ll discover cool shopping boutiques in nearby Fort Smith and Van Buren.
Residents of Greenwood enjoy concerts at the Greenwood Performing Arts Center, a round of golf with friends at Vache Grass Golf Course, and a stroll along the many walking/jogging trails that surround Greenwood Lake. Less than a two-hour drive away is the Ouachita National Forest.
