A new RV park and soccer complex are coming to Benton, and they will be located next to Buc-ee’s. Here’s what to know.<\/p>\n
BENTON, Ark. \u2014 If you’ve driven by the Buc-ee’s construction site in Benton recently and saw crews clearing the land right next to it, that’s because it’s going to be home to a new RV park and soccer complex.<\/p>\n
Chair of Benton’s Advertising & Promotion Commission, Bill Eldridge, said it will draw more people into Saline County.<\/p>\n
Right now, the city is almost at the halfway point for this ten-year project, also known as Benton Thomas Park.<\/p>\n
Eldridge also said there are even more developments planned in the coming years.<\/p>\n
“We have a few more years before we have all this property along the river, all the way up to Lyle Park on Highway five. We will have a river trail from the RV park all the way up there. And I think that they tell me it’s gonna be about the six-mile trail. So something that would be a great quality of life enhancement,” he added.<\/p>\n
As for the soccer complex and RV park, he expects it to be finished in the next two years.<\/p>\n
“It’ll be able to host any tournament. Soccer people are excited too about having the RV park next to it, because a lot of those people travel with their RVs, so we’re excited about that,” he explained.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new RV park and soccer complex are coming to Benton, and they will be located next to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":414400,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-414399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
