Freedom Shore Park, located on the Lake's south shore was developed in 1976, the year of our nations bi-centennial celebration. The park is a pleasant spot to stop and take in the lake sights with its gazebo, benches and handi-capped accessible dock. The Freedom Shrine, that is located there, honors those from each military service who have served from the area.
It is, also, the location from which the "Okabena Apple" variety came forth. |

Parks provide places for children and families to
unwind and have fun in a city. Parks, also, counteract the effect that the city
concrete and asphalt streets and buildings have on peoples peace of mind and
serenity. Parks have a "decongestant" value to the mental health of a
community. Worthington is blessed with having many parks. Especially valuable
are the many parks by Lake Okabena where there are many places to go to "let the
stress out" and re-create our serenity and composure in a hussle-bustle world.
