Weekend mornings (Saturday 8-11 AM or Sunday 10 AM-noon) offer the best balance of open facilities without overwhelming crowds. Weekday evenings get busy with league sports and after-work fitness classes, so plan accordingly if you want quieter access to amenities.

Worthington residents enjoy discounted rates while non-residents can still participate at slightly higher fees. Ample free parking is available on-site, and while there's no café, vending machines provide snacks and the facility allows you to bring water bottles.

Summer camps run June through August and registration opens in early spring, filling quickly for residents. Winter break and spring break camps are also popular. Hours may be modified during major holidays, so check the website before visiting on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's.
