This is a good spot to relax, to go with a friend to relax and visit. It has an excellent view of Lake Okabena, trees, water, and sky!

The grassy area is graced with pines and includes benches, an area to park your car to savor a view of Lake Okabena, a biking, a hiking trail that extends around the lake, and several fishing docks.

Sailboard Beach lies on the NE side of the lake, close to downtown, This is an area that was in times past, used by the Rock Island Railroad, but now provides a lovely area to relax and view the activities on the lake. The shoreline is a sand beach shored up with pink quartz, reminders of the Rock Island heritage.

It is known as "Sailboard Beach" to windsurfers because the access to the lake is at lake level and there is a long sandy beach which make it easy to set up get on the lake top windsurf. It used to be known as "Lakefront Park".
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.
