The Bathing Pavilion at Olentangy Park originally was a "bathhouse" in the 1890s and a building was built and opened in 1900.[1] It was located in the ravine, across from the boat dock[2], and provided amenities of a beach such as dressing rooms separated by gender along the Olentangy River. It was 100 feet by 13 feet and 9 feet tall and the dressing rooms were 3 x 5 feet each with a 3-foot aisle down the center. In the center of the structure stood a toboggan slide, named the Water Toboggan.[3]
In 1906, the cost to enter was 10 cents ($3 in 2021) for children and 15 cents ($4.50 in 2021) for adults.[4]
