 Hello, Columbia. Welcome to our edition of Telling Our Story, Exploring the Parks. I am your host, Wanda Austin Herndon. Join us as we explore our parks. To Telling Our Story, Exploring the Parks. I'm your host, Wanda Austin Herndon, and today join us for a tour of Owens Field. My name is Scott Riley. I'm with the City of Columbia Parks and Recreation Department. I am an athletic specialist and I've been with the department since 1995, which is as long as the city has been a lessee of Owens Field Park, which is where we are today. The city leases the park from Richland County. It is actually a Richland County owned property and they gave it to the city to do all the things that the city has done with it since then. I am standing here today by our Miracle League Field, which is one of our most popular programs that we have, our Miracle League program, which is for children with special needs. They play baseball in this field. It is especially constructed for them. It has a rubberized surface and it's the only thing that we are allowed to use this field for is the Miracle League program. Other things that we have out here at Owens Field is our skate park. It has been here since 2010. It's all concrete skate park and it's also used by bikes as well. Across the way we have a pump track, which is our newest feature here at Owens Field. It's been there since 2020. It is for bikes and skateboards as well. We have multi-purpose fields, which are used for many different things. We have soccer programs out here. We have lacrosse programs out here. We come here because we like the skate park over there and he used to be on a balance bike, but now he's graduated to an actual bicycle and we like to watch the other people that are skateboarding. My kids, when they were a little skateboarded, so it's fun for me to watch other kids now because my kids are all grown up and of course we love all the slides and we just love everything about it out and we like the garden. We walk through the garden a lot. That's all that's what we do. We come to Vermont. We also have Little League Baseball fields out here that we use for our programs as well. We also have a Frisbee golf course here at Owens Field that runs through the entirety of the 55 acres. We have an orchard out here as well if you're into growing things. It is an actual working orchard. It does produce fruit on a yearly basis. That was put here a few years ago. We also have walking trails all throughout the facility that you can use. Some of those overlap the Frisbee golf course back through the woods. Another feature that we have that goes along with the Miracle League field is our all-inclusive playground. It is designed for children of all needs and abilities. Anyone can use this. It's here from the time the park opens to the time the park closes. Anybody can come use it. It was put here in 2017 with the Miracle League field. Very popular with families and children alike. Those are pretty much it's kind of a quick overview of the park itself and what we have here to offer you and we hope that you all come out and take advantage of it. Thank you for joining us today with telling our story exploring the park. Until next time, we'll see you then. As with all our parks, our mission here at the City of Columbia Parks and Recreation is to change lives through a culture of transformation of leadership, innovation and phenomenal customer service.
