Goodale Park Pond

The exact pin is the centroid of active water-body record 849 in the official Columbus Park Facilities layer, north-east of the Shelterhouse.

Use city lots off Park Street or Dennison Avenue, then follow park paths toward the pond. Event conditions can alter the shortest approach.

The pond is within Goodale Park, which is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; fountain operation and event access may vary independently.

The park page does not list a dedicated pond restroom. Shelterhouse restrooms are for building users when that facility is open.

Viewing the pond and ordinary park use are free. Parking, reservations and permitted events cost separately.

Paved park paths approach the pond, but the city does not claim every edge or viewing position is barrier-free. Conditions near the open water and turf vary.

Animals must be securely leashed or under direct control. Keep them out of the pond, respect other visitors and remove waste.

The pond is an open water body, not a fenced splash area. Keep children close and away from the edge.

The city identifies this feature as a pond and does not list Goodale Park among its swimming facilities. Do not treat the fountain as an invitation to enter the water.

The official park page links to COTA's trip planner; High Street service is a short walk east of the park.
