columbia parks and recreation

Parks and Recreation is working with community members on Douglass Park's basketball court designs.

A plan to renovate the Twin Lakes Recreation Area in southwestern Columbia is on track to wrap up by fall 2026.

Residents may see fee hikes for Parks and Rec services after a request by the department at Monday's City Council meeting.

The city is hosting both in-person and online opportunities to provide feedback as they move forward with renovations. The updates are expected to be completed by September 2026.

The city of Columbia has paused the decision to rename a basketball court at Douglass Park following an outcry from the community.

Juneteenth, observed June 19, commemorates the emancipation of slavery. Events throughout Columbia celebrate the holiday.
