When I went over to Thomas Park, I saw it had plenty of kids playing. The playground was getting plenty of use and no issues came up. It did look like it could use a little more upkeep but the kids seemed happy. I could understand the splash pad being closed due to the season, but seeing the main restrooms closed down was surprising. Fortunately, there was a separate stall for use. The pathways offer a great opportunity for walkers and joggers alike. Whether someone wants to take a relaxing walk or get some long distance training in, the paths are wide enough for plenty of people and offer a reasonable amount of incline. Overall, it’s a nice place to hang out at or to get away from a busy life and relax.

Very clean. I particularly used the Marion HS Track every morning while on vacation. Very nice. Update 1.12.23: Sad to see the Marion Track and historic Football Stadium was razed. I now have moved over to using the beautiful trails from Thomas Park. 4.17.23- I have started to venture into the old Marion Cemetery. What a nice history lesson. Really worth checking out if you are in the area. Highly recommend! 9.21.23- New Parkview Elementary School Construction in place of old HS Football Field/Track

Fun playground for kids of all ages. Lots of shade, seating, and picnic areas, too. The swings are high enough for forty plus year old to recapture the youthful feeling of flying.🦅 A word of ⚠️ though, just because a middle-aged human can swing to great heights does not automatically mean that jumping off is advised! Or, be like me and throw Caution to the wind, and embarrass your teenagers while simultaneously tweaking your bad knee 😁! All in all, good times to be had!

One of the best parks in the Cedar Rapids area, just inside the small town of Marion. Here you'll find two playgrounds, swings, a sand pit, frisbee golf course, pavilions to rent for special occasions, hiking trails, bike trails, restrooms, and the prettiest splash pad in the area. A few years back the city replaced the aging, and somewhat scary, metal playground with a much safer, though less thrilling, play area.

Up behind the hill there's an entrance of some sort of trail. Becareful with the ticks if you bring a furry friend
