Linwood Park is a private, family park in the city of Vermilion in the north central part of the U.S. state of Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie. It is located in the northeastern corner of Erie County.[1][2]

It was founded in 1884 by members of the Evangelical Association as a place to hold Sunday School assemblies, church conferences, and other religious services, in a Chautauqua-like setting.

Today, Linwood is a park of privately owned cottages, with a beach and many other amenities. Christian worship and other ministries continue to be held there weekly during the summer.
