Finlay Park is an 18-acre urban oasis in the heart of downtown Columbia, originally dedicated in 1859 as Sidney Park and renamed in 1992 to honor Mayor Kirkman Finlay. The park features picnic areas, playgrounds, a man-made lake, waterfalls, and a statue of Finlay, making it a popular venue for various community events and activities.
In addition to its beautiful landscaping, Finlay Park is one of the largest handicapped accessible parks in the country, with paved paths ideal for strollers and visitors of all mobility levels. The park serves as a serene contrast to the surrounding urban environment, providing a treasured space for relaxation and recreation for residents and visitors alike.
