Award-Winning Parks, Recreation and Facilities
With more than 650 acres of parkland, 51 miles of trails, 20,000 trees and premier facilities, including a newly expanded 140,000+ square-foot community center, it’s clear to see why Westerville residents say they live in a “city within a park.” Thanks to years of thoughtful planning, 95 percent of City homes are located within a half-mile of a developed park. The City is a five-time National Gold Medal winner for excellence in planning and resource management as recognized by the National Recreation & Parks Association (NRPA). In fact, Westerville has the distinct honor of being one of the only cities to receive the recognition four times consecutively. Each year, more than a million people of all ages and abilities use the City’s parks system. In 2022, more than 120,000 people attended events and classes

offered through the department, which also hosts more than 2,000 programs a year. Westerville Parks and Recreation has grown through decades of citizen commitment, giving volunteers, engaged residents, active program participants, park system users and generous, dedicated funding. The Westerville Community Center spans 145,000 sq. ft. that includes three group fitness areas, gymnasiums, an indoor pool complex, a senior center and more.
