Beatty Community Center 

The investigation concluded that the fire at Beatty Community Center was accidental. We are preparing to begin the cleanup and mitigation process to address the fire and water damage. While the damage was primarily isolated to the gymnasium, we’re using this opportunity to make needed renovations to other areas of the center during the closure. Although it’s too early to provide a specific timeline for the work, we’ve relocated most of our programs to other sites to ensure we can continue serving the community with minimal disruption.

Improvements include: the playground and shelter being removed, resurfacing the sport courts and installing the new playground. Other improvements include resurfacing the parking lot and installing the new shelter, as well as completing landscaping, furnishings and remaining items. This timeline is subject to weather and unforeseen conditions.

Olentangy Greenway

June 2024 – October 2025

Olentangy Trail will be under construction from Summer 2024 to fall 2025 due to the Olentangy Trail – Northmoor Clinton-Como project (1006) and Olentangy Trail – Dodridge Step Connector (1047) project. The former will provide detour routes, the latter should not disrupt trail traffic, but construction will be alongside the trail.
