Goodale Park Shelterhouse

The exact pin is the centroid of active Goodale Shelterhouse record 157 in the official Columbus Park Facilities layer, on the west side of the pond.

Use the park lots off Park Street or Dennison Avenue. Confirm event setup and access details with the rental office before a reserved gathering.

The Shelterhouse is available by reservation Tuesday through Sunday and on holidays, with booking windows that vary by day. Requests must be submitted at least 15 days ahead.

Restrooms are inside the Shelterhouse for building users. The listing does not promise public walk-up restroom access when the building is closed or reserved.

Rental starts at $100 per hour for Columbus residents and $120 per hour for nonresidents, with minimum hours and additional fees depending on the booking.

The city describes the Shelterhouse as accessible. That statement applies to the venue and does not establish that every surrounding park route or surface is barrier-free.

Animals in the surrounding park must be securely leashed or under direct control. Confirm venue rules before bringing any animal other than a service animal inside a rental.

The venue accommodates up to 75 people and includes restrooms and climate control, but it is a reservable building rather than a guaranteed drop-in family facility.

A reservation request is not immediate access: submit at least 15 days ahead and confirm approval, fees, setup time and building rules before planning an event.

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