Marys River Park - Things to Do
A short 0.25-mile path leads to a small beach, perfect for relaxing by the water. In summer, the slow-moving river is warms up, making it an inviting spot for wading, swimming, and family water play.
Just steps from the parking area, the 9-hole disc-golf course offers a fun challenge for beginners and a great place to practice different throws.
The northern part of the park features an unfenced off-leash dog area, while in all other areas and on trails, dogs must be leashed.
A picnic shelter can be reserved through the city’s website, and flush restrooms are available from mid-April to mid-October.
