A Year of Heart: Thank You, Volunteers

We’re incredibly grateful for every volunteer who gave their time in 2025 [ https://columbusrecparks.com/connect/volunteer/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]. Because of you, families received food through our produce markets, parks stayed beautiful, young athletes thrived, therapeutic recreation programs flourished and arts programs at the Fran Ryan Center and the Cultural Arts Center reached more residents than ever. And yes—your work even helped keep our golf courses running strong. 

Here’s to even more impact in 2026!
