With more than 33,000 residents, Gahanna is one of the fastest growing communities in the region. Rich in heritage and diversity, Gahanna offers a friendly environment, a quaint downtown, and expansive green space. The centerpiece is Creekside Park, a major urban redevelopment effort by the community, with a 5-acre park and river walk that runs along the Big Walnut Creek.
With a strong emphasis on family and fun, the park is also the site of the annual Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival and the Summer in the Park entertainment series, which includes live music and performances every Friday night.
