Established from Hot Springs Reservation, this park is a United States National Park in central Arkansas adjacent to the city of Hot Springs. It was made a national park on March 4 1921. In this park the hot springs flow from the western slope of Hot Springs Mountain which is a part of the Ouachita Mountain range. Interestingly in the park, these springs have not been preserved in their unaltered state as natural surface phenomena. They have instead been managed to conserve the production of uncontaminated hot water for public use. The mountains within the park are also managed within this conservation philosophy in order to preserve the hydrological system that feeds the springs. People have used the water in therapeutic baths for more than two hundred years to treat rheumatism and other ailments. In this national park Bathhouse Row is a Historic Landmark District. Other than the Buckstaff Bathhouse which still offers baths, the Visitor Center is the only building that can be entered. The vacant bathhouses, however offer beautiful architectural features. Eventually, each of the now empty bathhouses will be rehabilitated for use. The Bathhouse Row/Grand Promenade area is the only place where these springs emerge. Most of these have been covered for a hundred years to protect the purity of the water for use in the bathhouses and drinking fountains. The American Spa attracts lots of visitors around the year and the parks do have many hotels, lodges, vacation resorts where the visitors can comfortably accommodate themselves.
