    Beautiful and secretly massive park (180 acres!!) with a variety of amenities to suit most…read morevisitors. Paved trails, playground, green space, amphitheater, community gardens, baseball diamonds, and more. You'll see many events hosted here, such as festivals, concerts, and fireworks.

    This review is for Lowe Park's diamonds (different than the Pee Wee Diamonds, also located at the…read morepark). We were in town for a 10U softball tournament and left with a third place finish. #GoJaguars. Things I liked: - Diamonds. The park boasts four softball diamonds that are well maintained. - Concession Stand. Gotta love a well stocked, well priced and shaded concession stand! - Proximity to Uptown Marion. Gotta love a quick five minute drive to grab some food! Things I didn't like: - Holy Parking, Batman. You basically need to park at the adjacent middle school or high school parking lots on tournament days. It's a lot of walking so make sure you're getting there early! - The Shade Situation. Uh, what shade? There are some trees planted that in ten years will be amazing but as of now, expect it to be a hot one at Lowe Park. Overall, the Marion community is lucky to have Lowe Park. It boasts some rad looking trails, an amphitheater, arts + environment center, community gardens, sculpture trail, an inclusive play structure and some pretty well done ballparks, IMO. I definitely wouldn't be mad if we played here again!

    Fun in theory, but the execution and staff, need improvement…read more I came to this trampoline and activity center hoping for an easygoing day with the kids, and while we made the best of it, the experience left a lot to be desired. From the moment we checked in, the energy was off. The front desk staff member who greeted us (blonde hair, long fake nails) didn't make eye contact, barely acknowledged us, and came across as unfriendly and disengaged. In a place designed for kids and families, this kind of first impression matters, and unfortunately, it set the tone. The facility includes a climbing zone, a small café, an arcade, and open space for kids to play. Marlee, who was working at the prize area, was the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our visit. She was warm, upbeat, and engaging with every child who approached her. She truly brought the kind of energy this place should be known for: fun, respectful, and interactive. If every staff member had her approach, this would be a five-star review. She deserves a promotion or at the very least, recognition. That said, the rest of the staff seemed either disinterested or unprepared to manage the space. Kids were sprinting around recklessly, bumping into others and causing minor chaos with no supervision or redirection. Staff members were either too young, too inexperienced, or simply unwilling to intervene. Several arcade machines were broken, without signage, and remained so even after it was brought to staff's attention. Kids were losing tokens repeatedly and having to return to the counter to ask for help, which became frustrating and took away from the fun. This center has potential, but what it really needs is not just updated attractions, but a serious upgrade in staff training, supervision, and customer engagement. A fun place should feel fun, safe, and welcoming--and right now, it's missing the mark.

    This is for the new location by the airport - the staff are nice kids & adults managing seem…read morefriendly. However it is highly inefficient & some areas are very slow due to lack of following the directions they set in place. Our child waited 45 minutes for the zip line (she ultimately got sad & frustrated and went to do another activity). The staff was letting other kids from the wall climb line do zip line once they got on the set up area. This might be due to the fact the set up area holds on the harnesses. I stood in line for 10 minutes for a shake, waited an additional 10 minutes to ask someone to make the shake, and an additional 10-15 minutes for them to prepare it. 30-35 minutes for a shake shouldn't be normal. The problem is that they have 1 employee for the whole dessert & sweets counter and they had to make ice creams & other sweets for other people who came in after we paid for our shake. This shouldn't be normal protocol on a Saturday afternoon. Managers or back up staff should've been ready to step in when there was a line forming. Overall, it's got lots of fun things for the kids - but the inefficient way they run things and the zip line area is a huge miss. Ultimately creating a very sad day for our kids to start. Plan to spend 3-4 hours just to enjoy things if it's this inefficient.
