Joint Effort Leads to Improvement Project
The City of Pickerington, in partnership with Violet Township, PYAA and PASA recently completed a significant improvement project to the youth athletic complex located at 630 Hill Rd. N.
The project included full paving of the existing parking area, new striping and directional lanes, and widening the access to SR 256. Work began in mid-July and was completed by the beginning of August.

PYAA
The youth athletic programs in Pickerington have been almost entirely volunteer-run since their inception, with decades of dedication resulting in countless enhancements to grounds and programming.
“We’re grateful for all of the volunteers who have managed and maintained these facilities for years, but volunteer-based organizations are limited with funding, so it was time for us to step in and help,” says Mayor Lee Gray. “Hopefully this provides a better experience and environment for everyone who uses the facilities.”
As stated by a PASA board member, “this is more than just a construction project - it’s a community milestone.”

Pickerington Adopts DORA
The Pickerington Outdoor Refreshment Area - DORA - is here! It's a designated pubic space where participating establishments can serve alcoholic beverages in specially marked cups. These specially marked cups will allow ages 21 and over to enjoy Pickerington's downtown with a beverage in-hand.
When: Daily from Noon-10 p.m.
Where: The DORA encompasses the entire Old Village, including Columbus Street, Church Street and Center Street.
How: Participating establishments can sell beer, wine or liquor in specially marked DORA cups, allowing participants ages 21 and over to explore and enjoy our downtown with a drink. Drink responsibly and have fun!
For Visitors: Keep in mind businesses maintain the same control, rights and responsibility of their establishment. They may choose not to have alcohol brought into their business, and this is easy to spot by looking for the decals.
Please Do Not:
- Bring outside drinks
- Walk with a purchased alcoholic drink in a non-approved DORA cup
- Take a drink from one establishment into another that serves alcohol. (If an individual store allows it, you can take an alcoholic beverage inside)
- Display inappropriate behavior
