## Park Infrastructure in Columbus

Three distinct parks are mapped within the Columbus neighbourhood boundary. These include Walter Beath Parkette, Columbus Park, and Knights of Columbus Park. Each location is identified as a public green space in the dataset. The presence of multiple parks suggests distributed access to outdoor areas throughout the residential zone.

The mapping does not specify the size, condition, or specific facilities within these parks. Names alone do not confirm the availability of playgrounds, sports fields, or seating. Residents may rely on these spaces for daily recreation. Further inspection would be needed to assess their suitability for different age groups. Sources:

## Transit Access Points

Four transit stops are located along Simcoe Street within Columbus. These include stops at Columbus Road, Steepleview, and Westview. Both northbound and southbound directions are represented in the mapped data. This configuration indicates bidirectional service coverage along this primary corridor. The stops provide fixed points for potential bus connections.

The records do not detail which routes serve these stops or how frequently buses arrive. Service levels can vary significantly by time of day and day of week. Commuters should verify current schedules before relying on these stops. The physical presence of stops confirms infrastructure but not operational reliability or convenience. Sources:
