In the spring, residents enjoy the beautifully landscaped areas throughout the town, or go out for a day of golfing or tennis.

Our newly built Mall at Turtle Creek provides great shopping opportunities for residents and visitors with more than 80 stores, services, and restaurants. We have many specialty shops and plenty of restaurants for fine dining or just a night out with the family.  

Local theaters and are galleries provide entertainment and enlightenment. Jonesboro residents often enjoy dances, dramas, and musical productions performed and directed by locals. 

Newcomers to Jonesboro often comment that the air seems cleaner than where they came from. Perhaps that's due to the century old oaks, maples and elms that occupy our residential areas. Or, maybe it's because the city fathers have always been careful to attract only nonpolluting industry to Jonesboro. Whatever the reason, it enhances the multitude of outside activities that Jonesboro residents regularly enjoy. 

On any given day, Jonesborians can, and do, hike, bike, canoe, fish, swim, hunt, pick wild blackberries, see Elvis' home, eat barbecue or quail and return home with hand-loomed quilts or jalapeno peanut brittle. With beautiful parks within our city and even more within a short driving distance, there are endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
