The Boardman Arts Park in Delaware, Ohio began in 2017 as a volunteer organized effort to reclaim an unused green space.
The 2.2 acre green space is filled with unique art pieces, walking paths, and benches. Annual events are held including the Delaware Vintage & Artisan Festival, Beer & Wine Festival, CREATE! Event and Ghost Walk; as well as art and yoga classes, concerts and socials.
