Due to increased spread of COVID-19 in Franklin County, GCRA will remain
closed to all rowing related activities through the end of the year at which
point the situation will be reevaluated. Please see the COVID-19 page for more information.
The Griggs Reservoir Boathouse
GCRA began using the newly constructed Griggs Reservoir Boathouse in April of 2011.
GCRA security access cards will open the doors. The boathouse is available between 5:00am and 9:30pm. You must not enter the building outside these hours or the alarm will be triggered.
The contract to construct the Griggs Reservoir Boathouse was approved by the Columbus City Council on October 5, 2009. This boathouse is a shared facility between GCRA, Ohio State University's Women's Varsity Rowing Team and the City of Columbus.
If you would like to inquire as to how to rent the Scioto Room in the Griggs Reservoir Boathouse, please contact the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department, Permit and Rental Services. GCRA is not involved in the scheduling of non-rowing events in the facility.
