Introduction:

Columbus Parks and Recreation works to enhance our community's quality of life by maintaining our parks, trails, and green spaces. Currently, Columbus Parks and Recreation is growing and managing over 1,000 acres of park land, 24 parks, and 27 miles of trails to help attract tourism and new businesses, provide welcome spaces for community members to gather, and create safe places for our community members to play and be healthy. As a member of the Parks and Recreation team, you will be vital in promoting these amenities to all community members. We recently added the NexusPark facilities and grounds to our management umbrella.
