Feet and arm modeling by worthington.org Community Center Summer Campers! Facility Information Worthington Residency Throughout this brochure, different fees are listed for Residents (R) and Non–Residents (NR). Resident fees apply to those who live or work in the city limits of Worthington, including spouses and school–aged children of those households. These households and companies pay taxes that support the Worthington Parks and Recreation Department and therefore pay the resident rate for memberships, programs, and rentals. All others pay the listed non–resident rate. Two proofs of residency are required at the time of registration to receive the resident rate. Examples of proof are a valid driver’s license, check with address, utility bill, or bank statement. Working Residents must work a minimum 20 hours per week for a company in the City limits of Worthington. Verification of payment of Worthington City taxes is required at the time of registration to receive the resident discount price. Acceptable verification is an original pay stub, dated within 30 days, that specifically denotes Worthington taxes being withheld.
