The Creekside Story: An Overview of Creekside
In recent years, many American suburbs have begun to understand the need for a community focal point and charming mixed-use
neighborhoods that add character to their communities. The City of Gahanna has been fortunate to be able to pursue both
of these goals simultaneously since the early 1990s. The picture below reveals the close relationship between Creekside
Park (opened in 1999) and the original 19th century Village of Gahanna--the Olde Gahanna neighborhood.

Today, the park's many gathering spaces and the neighborhood's revitalization projects are becoming popular destination points
for Gahanna's citizens as well as all Central Ohioans. The story of this success reveals how the following elements have
revitalized the formerly polluted creek and deteriorating neighborhood: high-quality urban design that incorporates a natural
waterway into the life of the neighborhood; extensive citizen and community leader involvement and input in the process; and,
governmental commitment and creativity to long-range neighborhood planning.
