One of my favorite parks in Columbia! I love the paved sidewalk around the park that can be…read moreutilized as a walking path to get some exercising via walking or jogging. There's a gazebo with one table which is nice. There are also two or three more picnic tables throughout the park. The smaller children's playground is a nice size, and then there's a playground for the older kids, both of which is a basic slide or two and a couple things to climb. There's also a zip line for the kids which is really cool. The swings are on another side of the area park. It's either baby swing or your normal big kid/adult swing. There's open field space. And then, another reason this park is so great is the splash pad for the kids. I will say the water pressure is not hitting on much this summer. I'm wondering what's up with that. However, we are grateful for the little sprinkle that we are receiving when the water shoots out. Even still, this is a nice and sometimes shaded park. Just be prepared for the splash pad. Also, it's street parking.

Also, it's a great place to stop and have a little outside lunch. The park has two parts. The larger part of the park is what you see off Beltline Blvd. The track is rubber and it takes about 8 to 10 laps to make a mile. It has two covered sitting areas with outlets for plug in needs. There's a few benches around the park as well and sitting swings. There's cameras as well for an extra safety measure. There's a water fountain and a mist spray which is pretty cool on a hot summer day, especially for my dogs! Plenty of trash cans to throw away any trash whether doggie bags, lunch trash, or whatever. The entry and exits on both sides of the park are open so I would be careful if you decide to bring your pup and let them off the leash. Also, be sure to bring your own pup bags as there is non available in the stand. Also, be sure to clean up after your pet to keep this beautiful park clean! The second part of this park is up the hill and can be accessed either by walking a few steps up the back part of the larger area or parking off Valley Rd. This portion of the park is a smaller area. It has a one loop track and covered sitting area. I go to this part if the larger area is kind of full for me or if I want to extend my walking trail.

South East park is perfect. Located near the interstate and eateries. The park has short walking trails circling the pond. Lunch tables, and bathroom. The turtles were fun to spot.

Even though it was the weekend it was not too crowded. Parking is a bit tricky. Unless you have a reservation, you have to let them scan a QR code to your phone, and provide an email address so they can send a link to a payment portal. All of this pretty cumbersome, and the time it takes means that cars get backed up at the entrance. Add extra time for confusion if older people are trying to figure this out! Best to prepare by either having a digital native ready to take charge, or pay in advance. After all this is sorted, parking is easy and you can relax and have fun.
