St. Anna's Park

A Serene City Escape

Situated in Columbia, St. Anna's Park spreads across 2.6 acres, offering a peaceful green retreat from urban life. This green space is popular with locals looking to stretch their legs or simply breathe in some fresh air. With its mix of sunny open areas and cooling shaded spots, you can choose your own outdoor adventure depending on your mood - or the South Carolina heat.

The park's winding paths invite you to take a leisurely stroll, fantastic for clearing your mind or getting in some light exercise. Mature trees dot the landscape, creating a tranquil atmosphere that makes you forget you're in the middle of the city.

Play & Recreation Options

If you're bringing little ones along, they'll love the well-equipped playground nestled under shady trees - a thoughtful design choice that keeps playtime comfortable even during hot summer days. Speaking of summer, the splash pad becomes the park's main attraction during warmer months, where kids can squeal with delight as they cool off in the water features.

Got energy to burn? The on-site basketball court provides a space for pickup games or practicing your shots. There are activities for people of all ages.

Community Gathering Spot

St. Anna's Park naturally brings the community together with its welcoming layout and amenities. The covered picnic area houses two oversized picnic tables, making it ideal for family reunions, birthday celebrations, or just a casual lunch with friends under the shade.

The Columbia Parks and Recreation Department keeps everything in good condition, from the equipment to the grounds themselves. One thing to note: there are no public restrooms available here, so plan accordingly before your visit.

Nature in Miniature

Despite its modest 2.6 acres, the park contains a variety of natural elements. It's a decent spot for amateur birdwatchers and provides enough greenery and quiet for a brief escape from city life.
