Join us for the unveiling of Bentonville Bat by Jim Collins of Tennessee on Tuesday, May 5 at 5:00 PM at Phillips Park, 3108 SE J Street in Bentonville.
Created in 2025, Bentonville Bat celebrates the way baseball brings people together by shaping young players, inspiring teamwork, and building community. The sculpture places a youth player at the center of the piece, highlighting the energy and heart that bring the game to life. The bat itself serves as both a striking landmark and a way-finding feature for the park, while the figures at the base honor the parents, coaches, fans, umpires, board members, and volunteers whose support makes every play possible.
Come help us celebrate this meaningful new public art piece and the community spirit behind the game.
