FROM THE MAYOR
Hi Pickerington! The temperatures are on the way up
and we're looking forward to a spring and summer
filled with events, activities and programs. It's also
the best time of year to visit one of our 10 parks or
the Pickerington Community Pool. The Parks and
Recreation Department is constantly looking for new
and interesting programs and this year we've added
the Ohio Nature Education Series, classes from AR
Workshop, Bootcamp Basics and Walk and Run 101,
so be sure to check those out. Music and movies City Hall located at 100 Lockville Road
are back again this summer with our free concert and movie series. As you've
already figured out, there's always something going on in our City and this guide
is a great resource to help you find things you'll enjoy.
Have a great summer, Pickerington!
Mayor Lee Gray
