Friends of the Buena Vista River Park

Our Mission

Friends of the BVRP is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to raise funds and awareness for all future outdoor recreation projects, improvements, and maintenance involving or benefiting the Buena Vista Whitewater Park.

River Park

The BV Whitewater Park is located in downtown Buena Vista, where the Arkansas River flows through town. Our park contains five manmade play features which allow a variety of user groups to easily access and enjoy the river.

Protecting the Future

As a diverse group of river users with a common goal, we strive to ensure that outdoor recreation in the river park is both encouraged and sustainable, with a commitment to ongoing improvement for years to come.

Why We Exist

Our aim is to ease any financial barriers hindering the realization of future River Park projects. Rather than playing catch-up each time a new project is approved, our goal is to have consistent and sustainable fundraising efforts in place, to ensure financial support for ongoing and upcoming initiatives.
