Columbia Park--east river front / Hydro Pits
What people are saying
Busy but fun park! There are a TON of playground features, including a splash pad. There is also a skate park. Plenty of trees, often with picnic bench underneath. There is also a large covered picnic area that overlooks a pond with some ducks and geese. And of course there is the water front area of the Columbia River, with boat launches and pathways. And there is a lot green space to run around and throw/kick a ball in or just take a rest. Lastly, there is a nice little Sno-cone stand, perfect for a hot day.
Nice walking park that runs along the huge and gorgeous Columbia River. Cycling is great here as well. There's several, pretty flat, asphalt paths that run along the river. Big beautiful trees and grass and all the other amenities of a park: picnic tables, restrooms, playground, skatepark, fishing pond, 911 memorial. There are lots of local events held here like the dog show, water follies etc with vendors and entertainment.
Columbia Park has always been beautiful as a park, lots to see and do within the park. there is the pond to see and ducks to feed and watch ( seeds & nuts please not bread ) there are hiking trails and walking paths, very dog friendly as well as fishing, disk golf a golf course. I will definitely be going back. my only complaint is most bathrooms were locked.
The N.F. Lampson pits are the most professional Unlimited Hydroplane pits in the nation. This place and its people are dedicated to the sport. I was very impressed with the diligence and focus of the safety crew, they set the bar high. Looking forward to the next race here.
Oct 13, 2023: Went past to take photos of the bridge. I was there at midday, it was quiet, only 2 other cars. Seems nice. The men's restrooms were decently clean, better than expected for a public park facility. There is boat ramp there and some grass and couple picnic tables.
