Barthelmas Park Expansion Moves Forward Following State Funding Approval Circleville Aquatic Center Project. CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio — Circleville residents are one step closer to once again having a community pool. State and City officials announced Thursday that the Circleville Aquatic Center portion of the project will move forward, following the approval of state capital appropriations funding that includes $2 million for the aquatic center through Senate Bill 450. The announcement was made at Barthelmas Park and included state and local leaders, State Representative Brian Stewart (R-Ashville), Mayor Michelle Blanton, members of Circleville City Council, and city staff. “For generations, the public pool was an important part of Circleville's community life and culture... We are incredibly grateful for this investment from the State of Ohio, which allows us to move forward with bringing a community pool back to Circleville much sooner than we originally thought possible." - Mayor Michelle Blanton For the full press release, click the link here: https://circlevilleoh.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Press-Release-Pool.pdf **The design graphics attached are preliminary design concepts and are subject to change.

In January of 1810, the Ohio Legislature erected the County of Pickaway. On February 19, the legislature appointed three prominent citizens, David Bradford, George Jackson, and John Pollack, as commissioners to select a suitable county seat. For reasons lost to time, they decided on a densely wooded area of a Mound builder’s ancient fortification. The fortification was a circle and its adjacent square and the town were laid out around the center of the circle. An octagonal courthouse was built in the center of the circle and 8 streets radiated out from this area. By the late 1830s, the town had quickly outgrown the original boundary, and plans were made to square the town, which was completed in the 1860s.
