John A. Stewart Park

As of January 2018, I am 46 years old and I grew up in Stewart Park. My parents bought a house on West Parkway Drive in 1975 when I was 2 and moved in that spring. I’ve lived in a house on Stewart Road for 15 years now and I still visit the park for long walks with my dogs daily. It is a slice of heaven in a city that’s no longer the peaceful, friendly town I grew up in. Progress, industry and the growing population of transients are systematically destroying my little hamlet of Columbia, Missouri, but Stewart Park will forever remain an oasis.

This is a great and private neighborhood park. However, the owners graciously welcome visitors from nearby areas. Just remember when you go there that it is good policy to always clean up after your dog if you bring one. It's the right thing to do!

walked through this park many times over the years. not a huge park, but its peaceful and its a great place to walk your dogs. also folks, be sure to have your animal leashed when in the park. :\

Great little grassy park in the middle of the city. Dogs are supposed to be leashed but most are not as folks have FULL CONTROL OF THEIR DOGS. Park is maintained by locals living around the place. PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PETS.

I mow this Park, and there's always the most interesting stuff laying out here by this tree

Quaint park in a suburban setting, excellent trails, shelter houses provide phenomenal bar b que opportunity's for a family gathering, or reunion, one of columbia's must visit city parks, provides bird watching, and indigenous animal watching with comfort.

Attractive park near the public library. Signs say "private" but anyone can walk around there. Be careful on the little footbridge; it's slippery when damp.

Well maintained. Had family photos shot here

Lovely place to walk in the early Spring.

Wonderful open green space

This is a small, old-school park. No playgrounds or exercise equipment, just a nice stretch of grass and trees with a small creek and a picturesque bridge. There’s usually at least one or two people here and dog running around having a good time.

A nice quiet place for a walk or picnic. Plenty of shade trees and a small creek with a little cross bridge. Nice sights in a nice neighborhood.
