The city extends west and east along Highway 412 toward Tontitown and Beaver Lake, respectively.

Springdale is located on the Springfield Plateau, a subset of The Ozarks which run through northwest Arkansas, southern Missouri, and Northeastern Oklahoma.{{ cite journal |last= Branner |first= George C. |title= Mineral Resources of Benton, Carroll, Madison, and Washington Counties |publisher= Arkansas State Geologist |year= 1984 |location= Little Rock, Arkansas |orig-year=1940 |journal= County Mineral Report 2 |page= 2 }} In the Springdale area, sandstone and shale were deposited on top of the Springfield Plateau during the Pennsylvanian Period. These were eroded after the Ouachita orogeny and uplift, exposing Mississippian limestone formations of the Springfield Plateau visible today.

Springdale lies in the humid subtropical climate zone (Köppen Cfa) with influence from the humid continental climate type. The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. The climate is similar to that of nearby Fayetteville.

Springdale also has a variety of industrial/manufacturing employers present in the city, including Apex Tool Group, Ball Corporation, Brunner & Lay, Dayco Products, and Pratt & Whitney. This strong industrial sector differentiates the city among the four large principal cities of Northwest Arkansas.
