Felton C. Benton Park

If you’re in West Columbia and need a solid spot for kids in the 2–8 range, this quiet neighborhood park checks a lot of boxes. The fenced perimeter with one entrance is a game-changer — you can actually relax at the shaded picnic tables without constantly counting heads. When it’s hot (and it gets hot here), the seasonal splash pad earns its keep. There’s also a basketball court for older siblings or parents who need to burn off some energy, plus restrooms and a baby changing station that make longer visits way more doable.
