Stephens Lake Park

Stephens Lake Park is the crown jewel of Columbia’s park system and is known for its 11-acre fishing/swimming lake, mature trees, and historical significance in the community. It serves as the center for outdoor winter sports, a variety of community festivals, and outdoor concert series at the amphitheater. It has reservable shelters, playgrounds, swimming beach and spray grounds, art sculpture, waterfalls, and walking trails.
Cherry Hill Square
Cherry Hill Drive, Columbia Mo 65203
The square is landscaped to look like a park. A small waterfall, different trees and well-kept grass are meant to be inviting. Occasionally, music can be heard from the nearby studio apartments.
Near Christmas, the village is known for The Magic Tree. The tree is completely lit by Christmas lights and surrounded by people taking pictures with friends and family.
Each year we set up heated Bubble Tents at The Magic Tree for fun festive picnic celebrations.
