The Learning Fields is not difficult to get to, but due to recent street name changes, finding it using a map can be a challenge. People visiting from out of town can get here by taking I-540. Take the Hwy 59 Exit and head south. There will also be a sign for Spring Hill Park. After you go a few miles and cross the river, you will get to HWY 22. Turn left.
From Hwy 22, turn into the "old main entrance" into Fort Chaffee. This is the one without the guard shack.
From Barling, it is the first entrance past the RR tracks. Turn right. From Charleston, it is the entrance PAST the one with the stop light. The stop light takes you into the active military part of Fort Chaffee. You don't want to go there. If you see a guard shack, you went in the wrong way. Head down about 1/4 mi. down the road into Chaffee Crossing.
The old theatre will be to your right. That road is TUSCANY. Turn right.
Go one block. That road is Gardener Ave. Turn left. We're half way down the street to the right.
Note that street names have changed since Google put them online. GPS isn't very useful here.
Or use this convenient Google Map!
