Columbia Parks & Recreation Department announces ongoing closure of north portion of Riverfront Park
September 9, 2025
The City of Columbia Parks & Recreation Department is notifying the public that the north portion of Riverfront Park (4122 River Drive) will remain closed until further notice.
This closure is necessary to support major projects including the Columbia Resilient Water Supply and the Lower Crane Creek Storage Facility and Pump Station. Following this work, additional repairs to the canal head gates are expected, further strengthening the park’s infrastructure for years to come.
While this important progress is underway, guests are encouraged to enjoy several nearby options:
- Saluda Riverwalk – 650 Candi Lane
- Granby Park – 100 Catawba Street
- Riverfront Park (South Entrance) – 312 Laurel Street, featuring restrooms, scenic overlooks, picnic areas, and a half-mile walkway along the historic Columbia Canal
We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as we invest in projects that will make Columbia’s parks and waterways stronger and more enjoyable.
