Parks / Campground

Worthington offers many parks throughout the city for your use and enjoyment.  The two primary parks are Centennial Park and Chautauqua Park.  While many of the parks offer "roof only" shelter houses, Centennial Park and Chautauqua Park also boast enclosed shelter houses which may be reserved for a reservation fee ($40.00 per day) and a key deposit ($40.00).  Key deposits are returned if the shelter house is left clean and in good order when you are finished.  These shelter houses have water and electricity available.  The "roof only" shelter houses are available on a "first come-first serve" basis.  To reserve the shelter house at Centennial or Chautauqua Park please call (507) 372-8601.
