Paquin Park

A Neighborhood Retreat

Tucked between Lee Elementary School and Paquin Tower in Columbia, Missouri, Paquin Park might be small, but it packs plenty of charm into its modest footprint. This cozy green space is a peaceful outdoor spot for the surrounding neighborhood.

It's especially valuable to residents of Paquin Tower - a housing community for seniors and people with disabilities - who can enjoy nature just steps from their front door.

Amenities and Facilities

Need a spot for an impromptu get-together? The park features a no-reservation-needed shelter with open sides, ideal for those spur-of-the-moment picnics or small gatherings. You can find ADA-compliant amenities throughout, including two barbecue grills and a drinking fountain - ensuring everyone can enjoy what the park has to offer.

There's something particularly pleasant about sitting at one of the shaded picnic tables, perhaps with a good book or a simple lunch, watching the day unfold around you. For those feeling a bit competitive, the park's three permanent game tables invite visitors to enjoy a friendly match of chess or checkers.

Green Space

What Paquin Park lacks in size, it makes up for in tranquility. The open green areas offer a simple but meaningful escape from the everyday hustle - ideal for a peaceful stroll, spreading out with a book, or just sitting quietly and enjoying a moment of calm.

It's not flashy or overwhelming, just a gentle, welcoming space where neighbors can breathe a little easier and connect with both nature and community.
