Parks & Recreation Department
Help Us Stop Vandalism in our Parks!Vandalism continues to be a challenge for the Department.
Since 2003, the department has spent over $158,000 to
repair or replace park amenities damaged by vandals.
Recently vandalism at Greenbelt Golf Course resulted in
$8,000 damage. Vandals broke into the cart storage shed,
damaged golf carts and drove onto the greens.
In response to this latest act of vandalism, the Columbus
Park Foundation has established an award fund for
information about acts of vandalism that leads to the
apprehension of those responsible. To donate to the fund,
contact Cindy Brummett (812) 376-2680 or via email at
cbrummett@columbus.in.gov.
We encourage all persons in the community to get involved
with the parks around them and report any acts of vandalism
Trees to Trees
Each ton of paper we recycle in the Abitibi containers will earn money that will go towards our "Trees to Trees" fund in the Park Foundation! "Trees to Trees" money will be used to plant new trees throughout the city, replenishing the trees we use as paper each day! You can recycle newspapers, magazines, catalogs, mail, envelopes, folders, paper and colored paper. So please bring your recycling to any of the above locations and help us purchase more trees!
Get Moving this Summer!Take the Columbus Parks & Recreation Department's: KID FIT CHALLENGE Pick up registration form and further information at Donner Center, Columbus Gymnastics Center or Hamilton Center.
