Become a Park Pal!

One legacy of Columbia's first Play Day is a new group for kids of all ages--Park Pals!

Anyone can become a Park Pal--all they have to do is read and agree to the Park Pals Pledge, then register. Registration will be available at upcoming events in Columbia's parks and also online at the City's website.

Here is the Park Pals Pledge:
  1. I will read the park rules posted at each location;
  2. I will obey the park rules at all times;
  3. I will help to control litter whenever possible;
  4. I will call 281-4264 to report park abuse or park safety issues;
  5. I will have a great time when visiting the City of Columbia's parks;
  6. I will proudly wear my Park Pal wrist band when visiting the City of Columbia's parks!

The Park Pals concept was created by Columbia Alderman Mary Ellen Niemietz and the logo was developed by Play Commission member Bill Seibel with assistance from the folks at Marketicity.
