So much fun here, a well lit, paved walking trail along the canal, with interesting lookout vantage points. Mind the "Beware alligator" signs as well. :)

This was, hands down, our favorite place in Columbia to go with the kids. They really go all out at Halloween and Christmas with lights in the park as well. The botanical gardens are worth the additional fee too!
