At 78 total acres, including 22 acres of woodlands, this is Pataskala’s largest city park where all main city events and activities take place.   Foundation Park links the Broadview Crossing and Settlements at Pataskala developments with rural neighbors near MacIntosh Road.  The park was established in 1998 through the efforts of J. Gilbert Reese, Chairman of the Thomas J. Evans Foundation, and President Sarah Wallace to enhance local recreational opportunities.  Annual events hosted here include the Easter Egg Hunt, Community Fireworks in July, Antique Power Show in September, and the annual Outdoor Adventure Day featuring fishing, archery and environmental science activities.  Foundation Park is also the home of the Pataskala Youth Soccer program, and provides game and practice fields for local club teams.
