Kayaks & Paddle Boats Rental Program
Gahanna Parks & Recreation offers kayaking rentals (at Creekside Park Marina and Friendship Park) and paddle boat rentals at Creekside Park. Due to COVID-19, 2020 paddling programs have been modified this season, all reservations will now be made through paddlegahanna.com.
Rentals are through reservation only, and will be for 30-minute time blocks. Each reservation is $10 per boat. Rentals must have an adult present (age 18+). Reservations are non-refundable. If weather or water conditions are unsafe, reservations will be either refunded or credited towards another day.
To make a reservation, go to paddlegahanna.com. For additional information email paddle@gahanna.gov or call 614/342-4250.

COMMUNITY GARDENS
Community Garden Plots
The Community Gardens at Friendship and Hannah Parks are the perfect places to grow your garden. New policies and procedures are in place to create a true community garden atmosphere. Renewal for the 2020 season begins March 2. If you wish to renew the same plot as the previous season, you must renew annually no later than March 21.
We look forward to working with GRIN this season and providing Gahanna residents with fresh local produce. In order to maintain this goal, plots will not be available to rent after June 1, 2020. Any remaining plots will then be planted, managed and harvested by city staff.
