许多设计师会发现一个积极的铁路对创造新的五英亩的障碍公园。芝加哥罗斯巴尼，创始人和设计校长罗斯巴尼建筑师， 这阿肯色州和密苏里铁路通过市中心罗杰斯跑的火车轨道，阿肯色州，是一个值得渴望的本地商标，而不是模糊。该公司为新赛道跨桥轨道公园的设计拥有其工业遗产转变它成为社区的充满活力的室外目的地。

当然，在铁路周围设计一个激活的公园空间，在这种情况下，这涉及每天几次通过蜗牛的速度通过的货运列车，这取决于需求，并非没有初始诽谤。“我们真的被这个想法挑战了，无论我们所做的，我们还是在中间跑过火车，”罗斯巴尼说。“但是[训练的运动]实际上使公园有点动力学。在某种程度上，轨道真的称之为罗杰斯的开端。“

罗杰斯目前在西北阿肯色州西北部迅速增长的口袋里大约66,000名居民，曾经是一个繁荣的铁路水停车和苹果酒生产枢纽。新打开的railyard公园的设计在整个历史中都参考了这一历史。Along with play structures largely designed by Ross Barney Architects, the Play Yard, a children’s recreational area, is populated by old freight containers repurposed as public washrooms and a retired gantry crane that serves as both a “gateway and a piece of play equipment,” as Ross Barney explained. A trio of modernized water towers evoke a past time but also showcase contemporary art: murals by the Mexico City-born, Fayetteville-basedoctavio标志，法国街艺术家咒语和伦敦为基础Lakwena.包裹每个水库的外部。Butterfield Stage-经过19世纪的驿马车线，曾经曾经推动过城镇的19世纪驿马车线，占地一家宽敞的展馆 - 合并着旧轨道行业建筑。（最近是农民市场的家园，该结构将作为后台和特许区域。）

在公园的西方条纹赛道上，树木衬里的弗里斯科广场设有轮式野餐桌椅，可以在网站上移动;飙升，风帆状的着色结构在闷热的奥兹瓦克夏季提供喘息。Frisco Plaza，此前设有一个停车场和更小的未充分利用公园的网站，融合了一条历史悠久的第一街历史店面的Railyard Park，现在是季节性农民市场的背景。

The connection between Railyard Park and downtown Rogers is an important one, as the park—a project of the City of Rogers Department of Community Development, funded through a grant by the Walton Family Foundation’s Northwest Arkansas Design Excellence Program—is the fulcrum of a larger effort to draw people back to the historic downtown core of a city where “commerce is delegated to big boxes along the interstates on the edges of the town,” Ross Barney explained. “It’s an old town with a historic downtown that, until recently, has had virtually nothing in it anymore.”

距离弗里斯科广场仅几步之遥，另外，由西北阿尔肯塔斯设计卓越计划启动的剧集努力 - 这是Wxy架构+城市设计 - 计划重新激活一系列单调，垃圾桶主导的巷道进入动态行人区域。“我真的很期待看到它是如何结果的，”罗斯巴尼说。
