From the
Director
The Columbus Parks and Recreation Department manages 1,000+ acres of park land, 23 parks,
10 specialty facilities, 25+ miles of trails and offers over 350 programs/events throughout the year.
Our mission statement, “Enriching Lives…Building Community,” guides us as we move forward,
ensuring that we always keep the people in our community the center of our focus.
We are in our fourth year of our five-year master plan. Through the master planning process and public input, five priorities were
established which included: indoor recreation, maintaining and expanding our bikeways and trails, increasing nature experiences
and programs, additional parks and greenspaces, and improving our existing system. In the paragraphs below, you will see just
some of our wonderful accomplishments in 2019 that relates to our master planning.
Indoor Recreation: Last year was full of planning for both Fair Oaks Mall and Donner Center/Park with a vision of “Creating place
through Health, Wellness and Recreation”. The City of Columbus and Columbus Regional Health hired the firm MKSK to do the
conceptual master planning around the two sites. We conducted an online survey which had over 2,700 responses, initiated a
project website that had close to 7,000 hits, held numerous meetings that consisted of programmers, community leaders, user
groups and held a total of four public engagements sessions. We are excited about the content that came from the process and
we look forward to our next steps which includes hiring an architect to produce final designs.
Bikeways and Trails: Our People Trail network continued to grow in 2019 with the addition of the Clifty Park Trail extension.
Thanks to a grant from Department of Natural Resource (DNR) and funding from our Columbus Park Foundation, we were able to
add additional mileage to our overall network. Also, design work has begun for the 17th/19th Street trail connection. This segment
will connect Noblitt Park to Donner Park and eventually continue to Lincoln Park.
Nature Experiences and Programs: We continue to partner with volunteers in our community to advance our nature experiences
and programming. In 2019, we helped create two volunteer groups to help our community and Parks Department grow our nature
focused initiatives: Friends of the Pollinator Parks and Columbus Tree Canopy Partners. With their support, we were able to get the
necessary permitting from FEMA for the Pleasant Grove Pollinator Park, received the Quick Impact Placebased Grant from the Office
of Community & Rural Affairs for work at Blackwell Pollinator Park and conducted the first phase of our Urban Forestry Management
Plan. We continue to treat over 120 trees for Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) throughout our Park System. We held our first Great Columbus
Campout event for the community which was held at Mill Race Park.
Additional Parks and Greenspaces: As our community continues to grow, we are committed in preserving park space. This helps
ensure our Department can continue to provide our high quality park facilities to all of our citizens. With continued support from
City Administration, we are evaluating and identifying opportunities within our community that will allow us to continue to create
new parks and green spaces. In 2019, an additional two acres of property and 89,000 square feet of storage was added to our park
system as part of the Machinery Moving property. This extremely important property and its associated buildings, connects to our
existing Park Operations facility. We have already improved operation efficiencies by adding this property to our system.
Improving our existing system: With the continued support of our great Park Board, City Council and Mayor Lienhoop, we invested
$500,000 towards capital improvement projects and updated much needed park equipment. We installed a new playground at
Harrison Ridge Park, constructed the new Jolie Crider 2.0 concrete skatepark and performed a number of repairs on our people trails.
Capital improvement projects will continue to be an ongoing focus. Our goal is to balance maintaining our high quality existing
facilities while providing new recreational facilities for the citizens of our community to enjoy.
The department has achieved numerous accomplishments and it is with much appreciation that I would like to recognize the
amazing employees and their selfless efforts. I am very grateful for our many supporters, volunteers, non-profit agencies and
corporate sponsors who have tirelessly worked to support our mission. We are also thankful for the support of the City
Administration, City Council and our Parks Board as they continue their commitment to helping us achieve our mission. We are
fortunate to represent a community that understands the importance of an exceptional Parks and Recreation Department.
Sincerely,
Mark Jones
Director of Columbus Parks and Recreation

PA R K S , P L AYG R O U N D S , & T R A I L S
PEOPLE TRAIL (Mul�-use Path): Typically an 8’-12’ wide path separated from the street for pedestrians and
bicyclists only (closed to the use of motor vehicles). When using the People Trail, please stay right in order to
allow other users to pass safely.
SIDEPATH: A wide sidewalk located adjacent to the street that has been designated for use by pedestrians and
bicyclists. In some cases on this map the sidepath symbol is used to iden�fy a typical 5 foot sidewalk that makes
a connec�on between other bicycle facili�es. Ride slowly and watch for pedestrians on these routes. Be
cau�ous near driveways and intersec�ons.
BICYCLE LANE: Marked by a painted line and bicycle symbol in the road right-of-way separa�ng bicycle and
vehicular traffic. Typically on higher traffic street. Not for pedestrian use.
PREFERRED BICYCLE ROUTE: Located on lower traffic streets. Some routes are signed as a bike route or are
marked as sharrows, while others have neither. The mapped route should be used as an alterna�ve to high
31
speed and high traffic streets.
DIFFICULT CONNECTION/DIFFICULT INTERSECTION: Located in areas with higher speeds and/or volumes,
combined with narrow lane widths or other problems for cyclists. Use with cau�on!
TRAIL PARKING: Parking is available at many loca�ons along the trail, which allows for convenient access to the
People Trail network.
INDIAN
COLUMBUS LOOP: Designates an approximately 13 mile loop highligh�ng the People Trail around the City.

Some por�ons of the route include riding on streets or sidewalks and those are designated by the color change.
BIKE REPAIR STATION: The repair sta�ons, located at Donner Center and Ivy Tech (located directly between Ivy
Tech and the Columbus Learning Center), make it easy for anyone to complete basic bicycle repairs while
out-and-about. The basic repair sta�ons have a durable air pump and basic maintenance tools.

LOBBY FEATURING CHAOS I
Chaos I is a 7-ton, kinetic sculpture by Swiss artist Jean Tinguely (1925-1991).
The 30-foot high piece is the largest work by Tinguely in the United States.
Columbus, Indiana, a city known for both its great architectural designs
and its world-class manufacturing operations, is proud to be home to a
sculpture that successfully marries art and engineering.
Chaos I cycles through a series of motions to simulate a day in a life,
beginning slowly at first, adding movements and then winding down
again. At the peak of its chaotic movements, steel balls roll and crash
through a caged track, catching the attention of all ages.
CHAOTIC TUESDAYS: 4th Tuesday of each month, 5 - 6:30pm
Join us as we turn on all the moving parts of the Chaos I sculpture and
be sure to stop by the activity booth presented by our friends at the
Bartholomew County Public Library! Free to attend.
