Columbia purchases community fitness center

The city of Columbia has acquired the Columbia Aquatics and Recreation Center – formerly known as Muletown Rec – for $4.3 million. The significant purchase is a key step forward in the city’s ongoing commitment to expanding and improving recreational opportunities for residents. The facility will continue to offer all of its current services at more affordable fees, offering three pools and a splash pad as well as a wide range of aquatic recreational opportunities. The city plans to develop the surrounding outdoor spaces to provide more recreation opportunities in the future.
