Named one of Ohio Magazine’s Best Hometowns, Gahanna is a wonderful city located in Central Ohio. Gahanna is located just eight miles from Downtown Columbus, putting big city amenities within reach. Despite the proximity to Columbus, Gahanna maintains its unique small-town charm and a well-connected community. It has a central location with convenient access to I-270, I-71, I-70, I-670, and US-62. The city is adjacent to John Glenn Columbus International Airport, making air travel easy for residents and visitors alike.

The community hosts a multitude of cultural arts and annual festivals, including the Herb Festival Weekends in May, Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival, the Fourth of July Freedom Festival, a community flea market in September, and a holiday lights event. The city has more park space per capita than the rest of Central Ohio. The parks and recreation department maintains more than 725 acres of parkland, including the 50-acre Gahanna Woods State Nature Preserve, four community parks, nine neighborhood parks, four athletic complexes, and 12 miniature parks. The revitalized Creekside Park features residences, offices, retail space, and a plaza that hosts community events and festivals.
