Whether you are stopping in for coffee, spending the evening with friends, shopping small, or attending a community event, the Elevate District offers a downtown experience that feels welcoming, personal, and distinctly Pickerington.
Experience a place with character
Unlike a conventional commercial corridor, Downtown Pickerington is defined by its intimate scale and residential-to-commercial charm. Many businesses are located in converted historic homes and buildings, giving the District a distinct sense of place.
Parking
Free parking is available in Downtown, including on-street spaces and public lots. Visitors can enjoy a compact district that is easy to explore and close to local destinations, schools, neighborhoods, and community gathering places.
Did you know? Parking a few blocks downtown and walking to your destination is usually the same distance as walking from the far end of a massive big box store parking lot to the store's front entrance.
