Discover the Benefits of Parks and Recreation
The Marietta Parks and Recreation Department seeks to provide safe and enjoyable recreation and leisure opportunities for a diverse population,increase tourism, initiate beautification projects, and promote environmental awareness. Recreation plays an important part in keeping our minds and bodies fit and active. We invite you to visit our parks, participate in our special events or recreation program soon.
"Parks and gardens alone cannot solve the problems faced by our cities, but they are crucial to the health of urban communities. We need to take seriously the evidence that open space counts in human lives and that places where we play can be places of hope."
- Martin J. Rosen, President of Trust for Public Lands
