BY STEVEN BENNA Nick Schnelle/Tribune Kindergarten students from Skyline Elemen- tary School in Sedalia ran around Cosmo ParkKylee Brassel and her friend Whitney Eufinger relax in the grass May 17 as they listen to bands from Hickman and Rock Bridge on May 7 during a class field trip.High Schools during the Stephens Lake Park Amphitheater Concert Series at Stephens Lake Park. Free concerts at the amphi-theater are scheduled for the first Thursday of each month, except in July, from May through September. Chaperons took the students to Cosmo after a visit to a dairy barn because of the park’s high quality, said Susan Malone, a volunteer on the field trip. “We came here because it’s a nice park and it’s nicer than the parks in Sedalia,” Malone said. “We’ve been here before, and we knew the kids would really enjoy it.” Malone is referring to Steinberg Playground at Cosmo Park — the largest playground in Columbia’s park system. The city renovated Steinberg in late 2014 to combine historical and space age themes, said Mike Griggs, Parks and Recreation director. Like other parks in Colum- bia, funding for Cosmo Park’s renovations came from a sales tax — $500,000 of which went to the Steinberg Playground work. A renewable eighth-cent of the quarter-cent tax expires in 2016, but voters will decide its fate this year, likely in November. The renewable portion of the tax pays for capital improvements and is expected to bring in about $15 million during the renewal period, if approved. n Chesney Willis, a Columbia resident and mother of two, brings her kids to Cosmo Park and said the upgrades to the Steinberg Play- ground are “awesome.” Her 3-year-old son agreed, with a big smile on his face. Willis is a proponent of Columbia residents paying a park sales tax because “we enjoy the parks, so we should contribute.” The key for Willis is the overall benefit provided by local parks. “I think it’s important for kids to get out and enjoy the outdoors,” Willis said. “They have a great variety here with a lot of sensory activities for little ones and big ones.” Along with Cosmo a majority of other proj- ects from the sales tax’s 2010 renewal have been completed, and some are still on the docket. Among the recently completed projects was the renovation of Jay Dix Station, completed this year on a $125,000 budget. Boone County owned the park but entered an agreement with the city to maintain and develop the park in 2009. The city added a train themed playground to Jay Dix Station, a basketball court, a fitness station and a mountain bike skills course. Other sites that have received renovations from the 2010 renewal include Douglass Park
