North Little Rock, Arkansas: Old Mill Park - Concrete Wood
Every wooden thing in this park and around Pugh's Mill -- except for the vegetation -- is actually fake wood made of cement by a secretive Mexican artist. An old post card advises us: "Textured in minutest detail as to deceive the closest observer."

We made it to this park off I-40 with a 37-ft. travel trailer, but I'm not going to say it was easy. Street parking only, in a residential neighborhood. The Old Mill was pictured in the opening credits of Gone With the Wind, so I felt like I needed to stop for a photo. T.R. Pugh Memorial Park was gorgeous!

So very unique and isolated in suburban backyard! Beautiful spot for photos or as a backdrop.

Old Mill Park is a special place for all ages. Favorite place for photos and picnics.

This place is so beautiful in the fall, but isn't very easy to navigate if you're disabled or elderly. But it's worth seeing and easy to find!
