Take the family to Central Park for a picnic and then for a walk and adventure down the nature trail along Luta Creek. Check out the Historical Museum and the Santa Fe Depot, now the city library. For a relaxing afternoon, visit the Country Club where mom and dad can get in nine holes golfing, while the kids swim and play at the pool. Just a short drive away is the Marion Country Park and Lake with a 300-acre park and 153-acre lake.
