Godown Park is a 10-acre fenced off-leash dog park with separate one-acre small dog area and 4.5-acre large dog area, featuring shaded open spaces, pathways, benches, dog water fountain, and waste stations. It includes natural elements like mature trees, pollinator habitat, rain garden, and a tree nursery for native Ohio species. Established in 2012 through partnership between Worthington and Columbus, it offers ample parking and is praised for cleanliness and community vibe.
Godown Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Godown Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Open dawn to dusk per Worthington (one source says 7 a.m.-11 p.m.); comply with all dog park rules; note proximity to train tracks and airport may affect skittish dogs; reviews mention occasional issues with aggressive dogs or irresponsible owners.
