Again Street Park

A Peaceful Neighborhood Retreat

Situated in Columbia, Missouri, Again Street Park spans 9.5 acres of green tranquility that's become a cherished spot for locals of all ages. This neighborhood green space offers a mix of recreational areas and natural settings - a good option when you need a breath of fresh air or a place to burn some energy.

If you're lucky (especially during evening visits), you might spot the local deer family that calls this park home. The grounds are well-maintained, with attractive landscaping throughout the seasons and regularly trimmed grass.

Get Moving on the Fitness Trail

Looking to squeeze in some exercise? The park features a 0.4-mile concrete walking path that doubles as a fitness course with 20 exercise stations scattered along the way. No matter if you're a fitness newbie or workout warrior, there's something here to challenge you.

Dog parents will appreciate the thoughtful touch of pet waste retrieval bags placed along the trail - no more awkward moments of being caught unprepared! Beyond the designated path, there's plenty of open space to jog, stretch, or simply wander through nature.

Play Areas That Keep Kids Entertained

The playground here is a hit with the younger crowd, featuring an array of slides, climbing structures, and two swing sets (including ones for the tiniest visitors). The wood mulch ground cover is regularly refreshed, and the equipment remains clean and graffiti-free - something parents will definitely appreciate.

Sports enthusiasts haven't been forgotten either. The park houses a basketball court, a baseball diamond, and a versatile playfield where you can kick a soccer ball or toss a frisbee. There's even a practice disc golf basket for those looking to perfect their throw before hitting a full course.

Spaces to Gather and Relax

The park's picnic shelter with wooden tables and benches makes a wonderful spot for family gatherings or a lunch break in the shade. You'll also find several stone picnic benches and tables dotted throughout the grounds if you prefer a more secluded spot.

It's worth noting that the shelter is used for Columbia's Summer Free Lunch program. The gently rolling grassy areas create natural spaces great for spreading out a blanket, flying kites, tossing a ball, or letting little ones run wild.

Good to Know

Parking is ample and convenient, and the park's location next to an elementary school adds to its family-friendly vibe. One thing to note: there aren't any public restrooms in the park itself. The closest facilities are at a gas station down the street, so plan accordingly.

The combination of fitness options, play spaces, and gathering areas makes Again Street Park a convenient neighborhood option for Columbia families.
