2 This Worthington Parks and Recreation brochure is printed on recycled paper . 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.

Do you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol? If you answered yes to both questions, you may have peripheral arterial disease or PAD. PAD occurs when cholesterol and fibrous material accumulate inside the vessels in your legs causing narrowing that obstructs blood flow, very similar to blockages in the heart arteries. PAD affects about 20% of adults over the age of 55, and over 200 million people worldwide carry the diagnosis. Risk factors for PAD include diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Having peripheral arterial disease increases your risk for heart attack and stroke. A simple screening test can determine if you have PAD, and a regular walking program is part of the treatment. Come join us for an educational walk and community beautification event July 19, 9:00AM at the Selby Park Shelter House to learn more about PAD (including prevention, diagnosis, and treatment), while helping to keep Worthington beautiful. Free, but pre-registration is encouraged. Those pre-registered will receive a goodie bag for participating.
