Grove City Parks and Recreation welcomes the community to their wide range of programs and services The Grove City Parks and Recreation Department manages and coordinates a wide range of recreational, educational, cultural arts and athletic programs and services for residents and visitors of all ages including outdoor education, concerts, sports and aquatics as well as fitness, enrichment and educational activities. The department, which currently manages more than 260 acres of public parkland, is one of just seven in Ohio and 116 nationwide to gain full accreditation from the Commission on Accredited Parks and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA). The department’s mission is to provide safe and enjoyable environments for parks, open spaces and high-quality, innovative and cost-effective programs, while planning for the growth and diversity of current and future generations. Grove City is one of the fastest growing communities in central Ohio, expanding by more than 25 percent between 2000 and 2010. As growth occurs, it is important for the park system to develop with the community to provide all residents with appropriate recreational opportunities. With the objective to serve all segments of our growing community by offering passive and active recreational space and opportunities, the department continues to evaluate parkland, green space, indoor recreation facilities and program offerings to ensure that a population diverse in age, ability and interests is properly served and a goal of an engaged and healthy public is accomplished. Grove City boasts of parkland ranging from mini- and neighborhood parks convenient to subdivisions featuring meditative space or playground equipment to larger community parks with special features that serve as destination points for Grove City and beyond. Windsor Park is home to Little LeagueŽ baseball; the Evans Center, a haven of service and socialization for older members of the community; and walking paths, playground equipment and tennis courts. There is always something going on at Fryer Park: softball games, fishing, running and biking on paved paths, hiking wooded trails, exploring a space-themed playground, movies or sledding on a hill and experiencing living history at Century Village’s expanding slate of vintage buildings. Gantz Park is a perennial favorite with serene paths winding through mature woods, play equipment and themed herb gardens with
Eagle Pavilion on the banks of Rotary Lake in Fryer Park offers Grove City residents an opportunity to host an event in the beautiful natural surroundings of a park while enjoying protection from the elements during any season. a meditational labyrinth and herbal grove. Henceroth Park offers a green experience with solar lighting, a wooded nature trail, butterfly garden, bluebird boxes and playground equipment fashioned from recycled materials. The Town Center Plaza, in the heart of historic Grove City Town Center, is a hub for music on Friday and Saturday summer evenings and for Halloween and Christmas celebrations. The Grove City Skate Park offers a concrete bowl surface and street obstacles for skateboarders and inline skaters. The Big Splash Family Aquatics Center offers residents and season pass holders a place to cool off through the hot summer months with body slides, an aquatic climbing wall, a lap pool and plenty of shaded and sunny places to relax out of the water. The department uses locations throughout the city to host indoor programming. Structured youth enrichment and child care programs allow youth to engage actively. RecSchool in the Gantz Barn introduces preschoolers to learning in a group setting with tasks that develop social, intellectual and physical skills. Programmed Afterschool Recreation for Kids (P.A.R.K.) offers a safe, secure environment for children that encourages physical activity and educational games. The afterschool program uses available space in the schools to ensure an easy transition for students after their school day. The historic Gantz Farmhouse is
the home for many activities centered on the herb garden. The former South-Western City Schools (SWCS) building, the Kingston Center, hosts a variety of programs including gymnastics, dance, karate and more. Basketball and volleyball programs also utilize SWCS space. Over the past several years, Grove City has developed parkland features to better serve the public. A meditative labyrinth was added to Gantz Park adjacent to the herb gardens. The Nature Explore Space, designed for children to experience the natural world at their own pace, was developed in Gantz Park. Expansion at Century Village, a cooperative effort of the City and the Southwestern Franklin County Historical Society, includes the completion of the Black House, a restored log cabin, and the Augenstein-Spillman Blacksmith Shop complete with a working forge available for teaching the art of metal working. In Fryer Park, the Eagle Pavilion offers citizens the option to hold a private event in a park year-round. The City also has continued to expand pedestrian and bike paths, including additions along White Road, with the eventual goal of an interconnected community. Rain gardens which conserve and sustain natural resources are installed in Windsor, Gantz and Fryer parks through the efforts of volunteers and members of Keep Grove City Beautiful. Grove City offers members of the public the opportunity
to rent City-owned space for social functions and athletics. Gathering spaces available for rent include several opensided, warmer-weather options: two shelter houses and a gazebo at Gantz Park and a shelter house at Windsor Park. Eagle Pavilion on the banks of Rotary Lake in Fryer Park offers Grove City residents an opportunity to host an event in the beautiful natural surroundings of a park while enjoying protection from the elements during any season. The facility includes an open design with generous natural lighting, an outdoor fireplace and patio area, a warming kitchen and large bathrooms. Reservations are offered on a first-come basis with discounts available for non-profit organizations. Reservations are limited to Grove City residents age 21 or older, this includes those living within the corporation limits of Grove City and unincorporated Jackson Township and those working in Grove City. Caterers must be pre-approved and the facility is smoke- and alcoholfree. When not in use for department leagues and events, ball fields at Windsor, Fryer and Evans parks are available for rental for baseball or softball games and tournaments. Teams and organizations requesting to rent Windsor Park fields for multiple reservations must provide proof of requirements to participate in a scheduling lottery each December. Fryer Park fields can be rented starting in midJanuary. Following the draft,
reservations are determined on a first-come basis at the discretion of the department personnel. The department continues to evaluate current and potential park space and facilities from needed upgrades to the 60-year old Windsor Park and further development of infrastructure in Fryer Park to the development of new park spaces. Breck Community Park will include off-leash dog areas and people-centered elements. It is slated to open in early summer. Grove City is one of 34 local supporting entities of the Central Ohio Green Pact working to enhance and protect the vibrancy of the region. Efforts include adopting sustainable land-use policies to facilitate non-motorized transportation, protect natural resources and create environmentally friendly infrastructure; encouraging environmental stewardship by residents and local businesses through education and leading by example; and preserving green space by conserving streams, wetlands, wooded areas and other resources and increasing recreational area and interconnected systems of greenways and trails fostering outdoor recreation and healthy living.
Quality of life is important. The warmer weather will be here soon, get out and experience the splendor of nature and the parks and programs in Grove City.

Everyone knows the importance of having money saved, but we also know that sometimes life can get in the way. Unexpected expenses such as family or health emergencies, being laid off from a job, car problems or simply needing a new furnace can quickly drain a savings account without proper planning. Here are a few options to help grow your savings. 1. Find the savings account that’s right for you: Most banking institutions offer many different savings accounts with different interest rates, and it’s important to find the one that fits your plan. Perks such as automatic savings transfer or higher interest rates based on the amount in your account are just a few things to consider. 2. Consider a Health Savings Account: During a health emergency, finances are the last thing you want to worry about. Health care costs can accumulate quickly, even after your insurance covers some of the expenses. Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) can help offset most, if not all of your outof-pocket expenses, and can be used for

ATI Physical Therapy provides hands-on approach to get patients back to their best When ATI Physical Therapy Regional Director Brad Isaac learned ATI planned to expand in Ohio, he knew exactly where the next clinic should be – his hometown of Grove City. “I’m fortunate and proud to call Grove City home and cannot be more excited to open our sixth location in Ohio here. Grove City is a strong, growing community that has always maintained its small town roots. This aligns well with ATI’s approach to taking care of patients,” said Isaac. “We have the benefits of being a large company, but also focus on the small things like making each patient’s experience a valuable and meaningful one so they can get back to what’s important to them.” Founded in 1996, ATI Physical Therapy is now one of the nation’s leading physical
therapy and sports medicine providers with over 300 locations nationwide. The Grove City location, which opened March 31, provides manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, sports specific training and therapeutic modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Sean Michael McElfresh, DPT, lead clinician at Grove City, is a graduate of The Ohio State University and the University of Dayton. McElfresh’s areas of expertise include treatment of back and spine, shoulder, sports medicine injuries and industrial rehab. “I believe all patients deserve hands-on manual therapy from their physical therapist, either in the form of joint mobilization/manipulation or myofascial release,” said McEl-
fresh. “We owe it to our patients to provide the highest quality hands-on care.” ATI Physical Therapy was named “Best Physical Therapy Company in the Nation” by ADVANCE Rehab Magazine and has achieved URAC core accreditation, recognizing its commitment to quality healthcare. As a way to give back to the communities in which its patients and employees live, work, and serve, ATI established the ATI Foundation in 2007. The ATI Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides resources and funding to children with physical impairments. ATI Grove City is located at 1590 Stringtown Road, Unit #2. To make an appointment please call (614) 594-5341 or visit www.ATIpt.com.

Massey’s Pizza is “The Cadillac of Pizza” Massey’s Pizza started its long term love affair with central Ohio pizza consumers in 1949 when Jim and Dan Massucci and Romeo Siri introduced pizza to Columbus at their Italian Restaurant in Grandview. The pizza, baked in deck ovens directly on the hearth, was cut into rectangular strips instead of pie cuts and it was served in folded brown paper bags to go. Then the Massey (Massucci) brothers opened Columbus’ first pizzeria on East Main Street in Whitehall. The rest is history. Today Columbus is the pizza capital of the world and most pizza shops in this area use the Massey’s
cut rather than the pie cut. As a family owned business, Massey’s has been winning the hearts of Columbus pizza lovers from one generation to the next. Massey’s has a secret dough recipe, baked on the hearth, with abundant toppings including: old world tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, aged provolone, Massey’s exclusive Guido Brand Portofino Pepperoni, house-made Italian sausage and Italian meatballs. A unique blend of ingredients and fresh ground spices has given Massey’s the “Perfect Pizza Taste”. When Guido Casa took over Massey’s in
1962, most pizza shops were converting to chain conveyors and convection type ovens. Guido always said, “Chain conveyors are for auto parts not for cooking pizzas”. Guido knew that the Old World way of baking was directly on the hearth, so he stayed with the old fashioned
deck ovens, kept the mom and pop taste and became known as The Godfather of Pizza. Massey’s is always baked directly on the hearth with a specially ground cornmeal producing a thin, flavorful crust. No conveyor ovens are used here. Our ovens give us the ability to cook your pizza exactly how you
like it: a little well done, well done, regular bake, or medium done, like a great steak. Today the tradition continues with Dave and Jim Pallone, Casa’s cousins, guiding Massey’s Pizza to the next plateau. Grounded in the past, with an eye toward the future, the Pallone’s have reintroduced some great menu items including: stromboli, spaghetti, lasagna, specialty salads and over 20 varieties of subs, grinders, hoagies, and cheese steaks. They also have high expectations for some brand new offerings like the new Chicago deepdish pan pizza called The Godfather, char-broiled pub burgers, and some
new pasta dishes. In addition, Massey’s now has world-class bone-in and boneless wings in buffalo style, bar-b-que, Parmesan garlic and a variety of award winning sauces. Throughout every location you will find great tasting food backed up by exceptional customer service. This tradition of excellence still guides the company today. If you consider yourself a connoisseur of great pizza or just a serious pizza lover, you owe it to yourself to try world famous Massey’s Pizza. The difference is dramatic! That’s why it’s known as “The Cadillac of Pizza”.
