Cosmo-Bethel Park — Attraction in Columbia

This is a lovely park with a ton of uses. The playground itself is pretty big, so your kids might get bored after ~1 1/2 hours. There are swings (including the ones for little kids), a couple big slides, and a really nice tree for climbing. In the park, there’s a great walking/running path around the lake which is about 1/2 a mile loop (720 meters). There’s a baseball field with plates if you want to bring a bat! There are plenty of pavilions around the park, great for a birthday party, which I have had a few there. There’s a great field for flying kites/ playing soccer towards the lake, and there’s a parking lot right by it on bethel road. There are also tennis courts past the field, and they are open to public use, but tennis practice happens after high school gets our (4:15-6ish). There is also a volleyball court by the park, but it is really run down and the net isn’t straight. Overall one of the nicest parks in town with a ton to do! Have a good day everyone,...

Great year round fishing spot. The lake is stocked with trout in the winter months and has bass year round. Bass are mostly very small but still fun to catch. Sunfish range in size and I have caught some rather large ones one a variety of artificial lures and live bait. Catfish are average size. Carp are large but difficult to catch. Playground has something for all ages and is fun for the kids. Walking trails available and it has a bathroom. Tennis courts are open and baseball field is ready for practice and play. Two large pavilions with grills for events and picnics. Great place for a...

This park is an absolute gem! Beautifully maintained with plenty of open space, shaded areas, and clean walking trails. The scenery is stunning—lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and even a peaceful pond that adds to the relaxing atmosphere. There’s something for everyone: a great playground for kids, picnic tables for families, and quiet spots for reading or just soaking in nature. I loved how clean and safe everything felt, and there were plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the view. It’s the perfect place to unwind, exercise, or spend quality time with loved ones. Can’t wait...
