FORT SMITH, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Fort Smith is hosting the city’s first Pop-Up Play Day of the summer on Thursday, June 13 in Martin Luther King Jr. Park from 10 a.m. to 12 pm.

Some of the main attractions are a giant slip n’ slide and a 35-foot water slide.
It’s completely free — and the first 300 people can get a hot dog.

“It’s so fun to be outside with your friends and then you add water to the mix on this particular pop-up play day it’s just a recipe for fun,” Josh Buchfink, Public Relations Manager for the City of Fort Smith, said. “We love getting to do this for kids in our community, for families in our community and we hope to continue doing this for years to come.”
