Stopped by Finlay Park recently and really enjoyed the time there. It’s a quiet, laid-back spot that’s perfect if you just want to step away from noise and clear your mind for a bit. The view around the water is nice and it’s a good place to take an easy walk or just sit and relax.
I liked how open the space feels. There were people walking, exercising, and just hanging out, but it still felt calm and comfortable. It didn’t feel crowded or overwhelming, which made it easy to just enjoy the moment.
It’s also a very pet-friendly space. I saw several people out with their dogs, and it felt like a safe and enjoyable place for them to walk and play. The park also seems suitable for all age groups, from kids running around to adults and older visitors just enjoying the outdoors.
It’s the kind of place you can visit when you want fresh air, a simple walk, or somewhere to reset after a busy day. I’d definitely go back again.

I loved everything about the renovations to Finlay Park! We used to come years ago for concerts. It's so good to see the modern updates from the fountain, waterfalls, playground, fitness courts, walking trails and so much more! I could spend the day in this place! The pictures do not do it justice. It's a must see in my opinion.

After enjoying a wonderful brunch, we headed over to Finlay Park, located at 930 Laurel St, Columbia, SC 29201, and we were truly impressed with the upgrades. The park looks fantastic and has become an even better place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
Finlay Park offers something for everyone. Whether you’re walking, jogging, roller skating, walking your dog, or bringing your kids to enjoy the playground and sliding wall, there are plenty of activities to choose from. It’s a vibrant space where the community can gather, enjoy the fresh air, and take in beautiful surroundings.
Our favorite thing to do is sit and soak in the atmosphere on a sunny day. The open space, updated features, and welcoming environment make it one of the best spots in Columbia to unwind and enjoy the weather.
If you’re looking for a great outdoor experience in Columbia, Finlay Park is definitely worth a visit!
