About

The Pickaway County Park District was formed in 2002 to create, preserve, and manage a system of parks, trails and natural areas for outdoor recreation. The mission of the Park District is to provide fun, healthy, and accessible natural green spaces and supporting activities. Currently, the Park District owns three parks, five multi-use trails and multiple paddling accesses within the county as well as provides financial assistance to local communities for the development and improvement of their parks and trails. The Park District is in management collaboration agreements with other Ohio organizations to manage three additional parks and one recreational area within Pickaway County.
