    Nice to get up above and off Central Ave.
    Access by stairs on either end, so there are no cars or bikes. Interesting plaques along the was detailing some history. Some shaded benches. The views are just OK - you get to see the backside and roofs of many of the bathhouses.

    Great for a leisurely walk!
    We started our walk at the Arlington Hotel end and walked to the other end near the abandoned hospital. It's an even surface with plenty of benches placed throughout the length. There is a lot of tree and shrubbery overgrowth along the way, but much of the backside of Bathhouse Row is visible.

    Very easy walk, paved level surface, steps at entry and exit only
    It isn't terribly long and there are enough places to sit along the walk if needed. Unfortunately, we were there during a heat wave and I could have used a bit more shade. It was very safe so a lovely evening stroll would be good too. If you only do one walk in Hot Springs, make this the one.

    Relaxing
    Beautiful Walk with lots of scenery. It becomes clear as to why this was part of the health and recovery regime of the times. Just a great place to either listen to nature on your walk or find a good tune and put your music while relaxing and taking in the sights

Beautifully simple way to enjoy Hot Springs! Been twice, and rainy and warm and another time sunny and cold - both times were enjoyable

The Promenade is located along the backside of the Bathhouse Row in downtown Hot Springs. It is a nice opportunity to take a walk and enjoy both the Bathhouse Row and the mountain, including some hot springs.

We walked along the Grand Promenade on our Park Ranger-led tour. The highlight was seeing a momma groundhog and her baby along the way!
The pathway is wide and easy to walk along. It is far enough behind Bathhouse Row to have a little peace and quiet away from the busy street traffic. This is a great place to have a nice stroll and enjoy a touch of nature.
