Parks and trails in Northeast
Anthony Boulevard and on its west side. The area neighborhood got its name for a few reasons: after Columbia Park, which is a local park; in celebration of the 400th year since Christopher Columbus’ first voyage to America; and in unison with the neighboring suburb Columbia Heights. The neighborhood contains residential areas encompassed by industrial properties. Its north border is comprised of long streets from Main Street to Central Avenue to Columbia Boulevard.
Columbia Park is a peaceful and steady neighborhood of around 1,200, resting in a haven that is somewhat separate from the loud areas of the city. It has easy and quick access to Minneapolis’ downtown by several means of transportation. The neighborhood is home to a substantial amount of parkland, including the 18-hole Columbia Golf Club. The majority of the housing units are single-family and well maintained. There are an array of housing types in the neighborhood including stucco, brick Tudors, and two-story colonials, which are similar of the homes along Minnehaha Parkway.
The 18-hole Columbia Golf Club, which was founded in 1919, is a staple of the local community. It is the second oldest golf course in the city of Minneapolis and offers visitors a pro shop, locker room, clubhouse, restaurant, driving range, and more. Additionally, the club is home to a footgolf course where players attempt to kick a soccer ball into a soccer ball-sized hole. Members and guests alike enjoy the course’s amenities and leagues as well as occasional tournaments.

The Columbia Park neighborhood is home to two parks:
