I've written a lot of blog posts about our visits to the tot lots over the summer. I thought I'd write one post with some links to maps and information about the tot lots, in case you're looking to adventure out on your own.
My husband found this google map that pinpoints a lot of the tot lots on a map. It doesn't have the tot lot numbers, but it does have street names.
If you have a smartphone you can download the CA Mobile app. It has a map of all of the paths in Columbia. This is the app I have used to find all of the tot lots, and to figure out how to walk from one tot lot to the next. It has lots of other information and some fun tools too. If you use the paths a lot, I definitely recommend downloading it!
You can also download the map onto your computer, or go to your local Village Center to get a print version of the map.
I recently found this page on the Columbia Association website. It lists all of the tot lots, by village, then by number and street name.
Here's a short article about the tot lots. Someone on one of the Columbia mom facebook groups actually found it, and made me aware of it.
In June 2018 River Hill announced that in the next couple of years they will be updating and improving a couple of their tot lots.
A couple of the Villages list the tot lots on their Village page:
Long Reach
Kings Contrivance
On his blog Chao Wu has listed all of the tot lots in Columbia, with information about what village they are in, the closest street entrance, the year it was built and when it was last updated. His blog post is from 2017.
Lastly, while it doesn't list the tot lots, the CAMOM website, does have a list of area playgrounds. The group is currently in the process of re-visiting and updating the listing, so it may not be complete.
As of July 2018 the Columbia Association did a safety check at all of the tot lots. Many swings were removed at the time and are in the process of being updated, repaired and replaced. Here is a list of the tot lots with missing swings.
Columbia has 165 tot lots. As of this writing, I've visited and blogged about 94. That's over a 3 year period. I'm hoping to continue on and visit all of them! I am thankful and grateful to all of the friends who have joined us over the years. It is so much more fun for my children and for me when we have company.
If you are aware of other resources, please let me know. I'd love to add more to this list!
