Confirmed from Columbus 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.
Family-friendly recreation area with tennis courts, baseball fields and children's play areas.
What runners say about Columbus Park
“It is nice but not that clean, there's poo on the grass, bottles and plastic stuff, the other day two girls were fighting in front of the people, needs more surveillance.”
“Nice playground lots of soccer games Family friendly”
Renovated park, the baseball field has remained the same but the new basketball courts, kiddie playground and the addition of the outdoor Futsal court are enjoyed by kids on a daily basis. Walking paths where both the 2 and 4 legged kind can enjoy. Plenty of parking spaces on w Franklin st.
It's a park! Kids love it .. anything below a 5 star is crazy. Basketball court soccer court..walking path
