Marshall Park
Park settings are vital to a community and Marshall Park offers space to get outside and enjoy nature, walk or run with friends to stay fit, pavilions for gatherings, intramural sports, and other community gatherings like Concerts in the Park. Marshall Park has become a center for youth soccer, baseball, and softball games and tournaments. We now have four new turf ball fields for use year round.
We have tennis courts, a basketball court and two playground areas. We offer pavilion rentals for your reunion or family gatherings. Details about our Marshall Park Pavilion Rentals are online at: https://campscui.active.com/orgs/CityofOntarioFacilityRentals?orglink=camps-registration
