Yoctangee Park, Chillicothe, Ohio

Covering a sprawling 48 acres in downtown Chillicothe, Yoctangee Park is a Ross County treasure.  Used throughout the year for various community activities, it's also just a nice place to hang out with the family on a pleasant day.

Contact Chillicothe Parks and  Recreation to reserve a covered pavillion for your group activity, or pack a lunch and settle in at one of many picnic tables scattered throughout the grounds at Yoctangee.  

Even if you head to the park alone,  you'll never be without a lunch date at Yoctangee Park.

Thanks for stopping by!
