❄️🥾 Kick off 2026 with our first big adventure of the year! 🥾❄️
Join us for our Polar Hike at Marion Tallgrass Trail from 1:00–4:00 PM and experience winter on the trail! This is a come-as-you-please hike, so explore at your own pace—go as far as you’d like, take in the scenery, and warm up afterward at the Nature Center with refreshments.
🌲 Guided Nature Tours will begin at 1:30 PM starting from the Nature Center for anyone who wants to learn more about the winter landscape and wildlife.
👕 New this year! We’re excited to offer free adult T-shirts featuring the Marion County Park District logo, with “Love My Marion County Park District” on the back (while supplies last). Donations are welcome, and a big thank you to the Marion Noon Kiwanis Chapter for their generous grant that made these shirts possible!
This is a fantastic way to explore nature, meet new people, and start the year off right—so bundle up and come join us as we “Go Out and Explore Your Marion County Parks!”
⚠️ Please note: This event may be canceled due to weather or trail conditions. Safety is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding if a cancellation is necessary.
