Confirmed from Columbia Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Columbia Park
“The grass was mown, not ankle deep; and it was all clean!”
“Very quiet, beautiful, easily accessible, great parking and all around great jungle gym even for the little one!”
A great park nicely set away from any roads with a large clearing around the playground equipment. It's easy to let younger children run free a little without fear they'll get into weeds or roads or some other danger. Lots of picnic tables, too!
The park itself is pretty nice. The kids equipment is quite big. The covered pavilions are spacious. The only bad thing is the bathrooms aren't open. So you get to walk across the park to use a single porta potty, even though it's summer? When are you going to decide to open them?
This park had picnic tables, charcoal grills, play ground for younger children, swings. Parking is close to where you want to be at. Not walking far, different spots to park in. Handicap parking, restrooms. I have seen huge oak trees that are just amazing. There is a place to walk around or stroll with your children.
What a lovely park! Lots of grassy areas for kids to run around, plus lots of shaded areas, and a playground to boot! Pavillions are large, have lots of picnic tables, AND an area to lay out the food buffet; and are all close to the bathrooms. The grass was mown, not ankle deep; and it was all clean!
