    Martin Luther King Jr. Park was an awesome public park, both for the way it honored Dr. King's…read morelegacy, as well as providing a nice public space and geographical information for city residents. I went to the park on MLK Day 2026 (1/19/26) and was happy to see that others had already stopped by to lay flowers and place a wreath at the park, and pay their respects to Dr. King. I took one lap around the park and liked reading the plaques about wetlands and detention ponds, as well as looking at some other symbolic markers around the park. To conclude, this is a great public park, and I'll definitely be back in the future to walk around and collect my thoughts. My favorite Martin Luther King Jr. quote: "The time is always right to do what is right."

    Not far from the bars and restaurants in the Five Points area, this park is bisected by a small…read morebrook (bigger than a stream, not quite a creek) with a large fountain on a brick path. There are a number of benches and picnic tables which would make this a good spot for bringing lunch from nearby. There did seem to be a small population of residentially-challenged but they kept to themselves and I was able to enjoy the park today. The large fountain is pretty and there are some other tributes to the late Doctor King including a stone carved with a small portion of one of his more famous speeches. There is some street parking.

    Impressed with the intentional use of space!…read more We made a day trip to Columbia, SC and needed to stretch our legs and burn some energy. Finlay Park offers a GREAT playground with slides, rope ladders, climbing limbs, splash pad, and turf slide. Plenty of room to relax or log a few steps. There is a beautiful water fountain, grotto and pond where they offer sailboat rentals . There is also 2 miles of sidewalk and pathways for walking or taking advantage of the roller skate rentals they offer. Not to mention pickleball courts, ping pong, soccer goals, and fitness court. A round of applause to the City of Columbia for this amazing recreational and public space.

    I'm so excited that I finally got to check out the new Finlay Park! I had heard nothing but good…read morethings about it from those who attended the grand re-opening, so my expectations were set pretty high... well, I can say that it certainly did not disappoint! First and foremost, I must say that it was simply awesome to see the signature water sculpture flowing and spinning again. That alone went a long way in restoring the signature feel of the park. Furthermore, I absolutely loved the landscaping below the fountain, which consisted of a small stream running through some perfectly manicured rocks and bushes. In addition to the landscaping, I absolutely loved the modern artwork that was incorporated into the park. There was a beautiful yet funky mural that was created by a Columbia-raised artist, and the park also had some really cool 21st-century sculptures, most of which directly represented the state of South Carolina and the city of Columbia. The park also had a really cool calisthenic workout station, which looked perfect for a complete bodyweight workout session, as well as pickleball courts that anybody can play on. Moreover, although I do not have children myself, the park looked like the perfect place for kids to run around for hours and hours. From what I could see, there was a huge climbing platform, two (2) enormous slides, multiple sets of different types of swings, and, what appeared to be a hill that the kids could slide down using burlap sacks. 10-year-old me would have marveled at the quality of this playground! Finally, there was a huge platform stage to hold concerts on, and a nice, well-manicured plain of grass for attendees to watch and enjoy on. All-in-all, I can't say enough good things about the re-opening of Finlay Park, and I'll be excited to come back for days and years to come!
