If you’re an active Columbia resident who is always looking for new ways to switch up your workouts, pay a visit to the scenic trails at Centennial Park. This family-friendly park is a favorite amongst the area’s runners, cyclists and walkers, as it contains scenic trails that wind through wooded areas and along the large lake.
Fishers will enjoy casting off at one of the lake’s sturdy piers, while just about anyone would love spending the afternoon relaxing along the lake’s shores. You can even rent paddle boats for an even closer view of the lake’s calm waters. Centennial Park contains a number of pavilions, picnic areas and barbecue grills perfect for a summer afternoon cookout, and there are attached public restrooms at some of the larger pavilions. The playground area is popular with younger children, and the entire park is dog-friendly if you want to bring your furry friend.
