Columbia Tech Center’s trails and parks provide close-to-home recreation, natural landscapes, and educational experiences for the young and young-at-heart. See Map
Nature Playground
The 25,000 square foot natural playground offers experiences that mimic play in nature. Nature play areas stimulate a child's imagination and creativity and provide a place where children can discover and become lifelong stewards of the environment.
Boardwalk
Bring the family for an exploration of the boardwalk, then go on an eye-spy quest for native plants and wildlife, like the State Bird of Washington or even the mythic Sasquatch.
Amphitheatre
During the summer months, Columbia Tech Center along with The City of Vancouver, hosts Sunday evening concerts from local artists. So, pack up your loved ones and a picnic basket to join the summer fun at CTC.
Challenge your friends to a lively match of hoops or a classic game of H-O-R-S-E. The court is first-come, first-served - perfect for an impromptu neighborhood pick-up game.
