Our Mission

Maury County Parks and Recreation (MCPR) strives to provide recreational and educational opportunities, services and programs to expand our community involvement, create a higher standard of living and to enrich and enhance the lives of our citizens.


Our Parks

MCPR consists of over 1,000 acres of parkland and manages six parks:

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4

Sports Fields

MCP has several sports fields, including Lindsey Nelson Stadium, the Columbia American Little League fields, and the Babe Ruth field.

Equestrian Area

MCP offers an extensive equestrian area with two arenas, stall barns, and the Skillington Livestock Barn.

Trails

In June 2012, a 1-mile hiking trail and natural area was opened, and plans are in process to eventually link this trail to the existing 1.5-mile paved walking trail. In 2015, an extension to the trail was completed as an Eagle Scout project.
