Willow Springs was a water park located in Little Rock, Arkansas.[1] It closed for swimming in July 2013.

The park subsequently re-opened for fishing but not swimming. It closed permanently in August 2015.

It was built in 1928. Willow Springs is a sandy bottom spring and well fed lake, similar to Maywood Beach in Mississippi. Unlike most water parks, visitors could bring their own food and drinks into the park, though a restaurant called Upper Deck Café was located on site.
