Established as a state park in 1974, Logoly State Park was created as Arkansas's first environmental education park. Logoly State Park is located in McNeil, Arkansas and covers 368 acres. It serves as both a State Park and a Natural Area. As such, park staff work with the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission to conserve and protect the natural resources found in the park.

The Logoly State Park visitor center is filled with interactive exhibits. Here guests can learn about this unique place through sight, sound, touch and smell. The visitor center is LEED certified and uses a variety of environmentally friendly technologies, such as geothermal heating and rainwater collection. In addition to the visitor center there is a playground, pavilion, picnic area, and multiple trails for guests to enjoy. The park is open from sunrise to sunset.

Arkansas State Parks is a division of the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism. Arkansas state parks and museums cover 54,400 acres of forest, wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, outdoor recreation facilities, and unique historic and cultural resources. Established in 1923, Arkansas State Parks preserve special places for future generations, provide quality recreation and education opportunities, enhance the state's economy through tourism and provide leadership in resource conservation.
