                 				                         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!
