A new Monkey Joe?「どィび「s just opened in Columbia, just off Clemson Rd, near the exit to I-20. MyGym in the Village at Sandhill offers a military discount on it?「どィび「s memberships and classes and my son really enjoyed taking classes there before he was in school full-time. The main park on post is really nice and pretty big. It has three sets of playground equipment, one for the little ones, a medium-sized one and a huge one for older kids. The watermark, Palmetto Falls, is also fun during the summer and fairly inexpensive. Lots of recreational sports leagues around if your kids are into baseball, soccer, football, etc.
