Columbia Parks and Recreation’s 7th Annual Visit Your Park Playgrounds Challenge will kick off on Saturday, May 15. As in 2020, this year's challenge includes an emphasis on safety to encourage park visitors to adhere to social distancing while visiting the playgrounds.
The Playground Challenge is a free summer-long program designed to get children and their parents or guardians out exploring Columbia’s parks. Each participant who visits at least 10 playgrounds is eligible for a prize, including a daily pass to the Activity & Recreation Center (ARC). Participants who visit up to 20 parks will also receive an entry into the grand prize drawing for a $100 Columbia Parks and Recreation gift certificate.
The Playground Challenge will end Sept. 6. An online brochure and printable tracking sheets are available at CoMo.gov (search playground challenge). Participants may also pick up a tracking sheet by visiting the main Parks and Recreation office at 1 S. 7th St. Tracking sheets must be turned in by Sept. 17.
