Parkade Park

Parkade Park is a small neighborhood park located adjacent to Parkade Elementary School in Columbia, Missouri. This 1.65-acre park provides a space for local residents and schoolchildren to engage in outdoor play and recreational activities. Its compact and community-focused design makes it an accessible and convenient green space for quiet enjoyment within the neighborhood.

The park features a variety of essential amenities catering to different age groups. Young children, aged 2 to 5, can enjoy a dedicated playground area with age-appropriate equipment that fosters active play and social interaction. For fitness enthusiasts, the park includes a fitness cluster, offering an opportunity to maintain a healthy lifestyle outdoors. Additionally, basketball courts are available for informal games, encouraging physical activity and social bonding among both children and adults.

Complementing these amenities is a small, non-reservable picnic shelter equipped with three picnic tables and a single ADA-compliant BBQ grill, providing a simple spot for casual outdoor gatherings or meals. However, it is to be noted that the park does not offer restrooms, water, or electrical facilities, which aligns with its modest, neighborhood-oriented character.

Parkade Park’s proximity to the elementary school enhances its value as a convenient and safe area for both educational and recreational purposes. The park’s inviting layout and family-friendly facilities make it a cherished part of the local community.
