Its a great place to come with family and friends. The dog park is huge, and friendly. Trail is beautiful great for walking and biking. And the lakes are full of fish to catch. It an amazing place for pictures or to just sit in the shade and enjoy the weather.

Fishing best done from a kayak or with weed-less lures (heavy aquatic plant growth near shore) [Bluegill/sunfish]. Quality and quantity of flora and fauna is superb. Trails well maintained. Adequate play space for children and social gatherings. Dog park well organized.

I took my dog to the off season pen area because he is blind and doesnt like water. But there there is a seasonal area with a lake for swimming and some agility areas, they provide dog poop bags for you, and they have an area for smaller dogs only! Theres also a pretty cute Waterpark and playground area, as well as a trail around the lake for walking your dogs and biking! Be sure to keep your dog on a leash until you are in the penned areas!

Its a nice park with a dog area, playground for little ones, pavilions, plenty of parking, and the big lake is great scenery. There is also a well maintained trail that connects with the MKT Trail that wraps around the lake.

Very nice and pretty. Great place to eat a picnic with friends.

Serenity defined ... peaceful enjoyable place to bring your family, your dog or dogs, your bike, fishing pole. Great place to refresh!

Good place for kids and dogs to run off energy. Bathroom could use a good cleaning.

Beautiful park

We literally go 6 days a week. All that I ask of other dog owners is to make sure yall have poop bags and let your dogs play

Love this place. kept clean by everyone who goes and lots of room for dogs.

Great place to walk and talk!!

Great little lakeside park, can always see a turtle or fish in the water. The dog park can get busy but dogs seem to love it.

Dog Park was neat

So peaceful and fun for the little ones to play in Little Mates Cove!

Beautiful, it is always cooler temperature there dues to the wind and the lake. Parking lot could be resurfaced...city or state taxes I dont know.

Doggy paradise.

Always a great escape

This is an excellent dog park. Part of the Parks and Recreation Department of the city of Columbia. This park is attached to the MKT Trail and is easily accessed by foot, bike or car. Very beautiful area, plenty of parking and very polite people. If you have a dog or need a bit of a walk this is an excellent place to do it.

Love it beyond words! Dog park is filled with great people and the lake has plenty of fish to catch!

The dog park is great!

A great basshole

Nice family spot. You can fish, theres a water park for the kiddos, BBQ area and docks plus a dog park!! Over all place is awesome!!!

Great dog park for small and large dogs. 3 separate areas for dogs. Lakes when frozen are locked off if ice present.

In this seasons open section there needs to be more trashcans for poop bags. Also a gravel trail around the outside would be nice

Amazing park - though I have heard other parks in the city have Wi-Fi and would really appreciate it if this park implemented a park-wide Wi-Fi network, as sometimes when I visit this park, I would appreciate that. it isnt a huge deal, though. The playground is smaller than those at other parks, though it looks a bit more complex and interesting. The fact that it is near a pavillion and is close to the carpark makes it perfect for family events. I would recommend this to anyone organising a large event or a family looking for a nice day out - as long as no Wi-Fi isnt a dealbreaker for the parent(s).

Has a dog park and lots of good fishing spots, it also connects to the MKT trail and has a nature sanctuary right behind it. A great place for dog owners, runners, bikers, fishers, and nature lovers.

Excellent entry and/or exit point for the incredible Columbia trail system!

Absolutely love to being the babies here. Nice family atmosphere

Great dog park.

This park has a great play area for kids, nice trails, a water park and a small lake! It also has a nice pavillion and is well-maintained .

Nice park in the city with walking trails. Quite a few pets, and there is a pet area.

Good place for kids and adults wading pool !

One of my favorites park in Columbia, MO. A good place to walk, run bike...

Nice shelter and playground. Excellent dog park.

Peaceful park to ride bikes, walk, or just chill out with the family.

Great City Park one of Columbia many Parks to visit

Great place to take your dogs and kids.

Good place to let your dog run.

Our dog loves this placed!!! Its so large with so many places to run and swim!

One of the best parks in COMO and the best Dog Park.

City needs to completely renovate the park

I visit the dog park on a regular basis for the past two years but this is an example of why city of Columbia has too many parks to maintain this park is starting to degrade the fences the gates needs an overhaul

Other parks better than this lake
