Osborn Park

Osborn Park is part of who I am. I grew up here. I spent summers at the pool. Walked around the trails. Watched high school soccer games (though it was perhaps more about watching the running boys). Went to school picnics here. My mom still volunteers here. Osborn Park is a Sandusky/​Erie County staple.
Last summer, my high school class held a 15 year reunion and the first place I suggested for a family picnic was Osborn Park. Shelter rental is really easy — -and available online. The website shows availability for a month for all shelters, afternoon or evening slots. Prices remain unbelievably affordable — $ 33 for county residents, $ 43 for out-​of-​county (more for the enclosed shelter). It’s nearly effortless to set up a picnic. The one drawback is that the fee is non-​refundable if you cancel your event, though it might be transferable to another date. Nevertheless, if you are looking for to host a reunion (class or family), graduation party, etc., then I’d recommend Osborn Park. Plenty of seating in shelters, fields for games, courts for basketball or tennis and playgrounds.
I can’t imagine a Sandusky resident who hasn’t been to Osborn Park. It’s part of the community.
