The Parks and Recreation Department, under the direction of the Pataskala City Administrator, is responsible for the park system in the City of Pataskala. The mission is to maintain the lands within the parks in order for all members of the community to enjoy the natural beauty each park provides.

The Pataskala Park Advisory Board strives to improve the parks through careful planning and coordination with other City departments, volunteers and other community organizations in an effort to maintain and continually improve our grounds and park amenities.  The City of Pataskala uses Recreational Use Agreements for local nonprofit recreational users to provide recreational programs.  In turn, the users maintain the recreational facilities and fields and provide porta johns. w
