This historic marker at the park area along Central Avenue north of Bathhouse Row explains the history of this area. The marker reads as follows:
"A LANDSCAPED RESORT
Setting plays a significant role in the Hot Springs spa experience. The Magnolia lined Avenue and landscaped lawns in front of the bathhouses create a pastoral atmosphere in the midst of the city. Just a few steps behind Bathhouse Row, the Grand Promenade offers strollers an encounter with the lower slopes of Hot Springs Mountain.
Exercise has long been part of the spa regimen. In the past, the park's trails provided a natural outdoor counterpoint to the vigorous mechanics of the bathhouse’s hydrotherapy and gymnastics equipment. Today their quiet beauty still offers opportunities for renewal of the spirit."
