A second Casino opened in 1922[1] at Olentangy Park and was located in The Grove across from the Open-Air Theater.[2][3][4] Hot and cold refreshments of all kinds were served at a nominal price.[1]
The first casino contained the theater. It was the main part of the building despite being called the theater.
A "big shelter house...supplied with tables and seats to accommodate large groups of picnickers" was described in The Columbus Dispatch in 1923. It is unknown if this is one of the casinos or a newer structure built for that season.[5]
