The Marion Parks and Recreation Department recognizes that there are Marion residents who are financially unable to participate in programs offered by the department but still desire the opportunity to experience the benefits of leisure activities. We’ve established a Financial Assistance Program to make recreation and swimming programs available to Marion residents. Marion residents who are experiencing financial hardship are eligible to apply for assistance. If you feel you need assistance but do not meet the income guidelines, you may attach a letter to your assistance application stating your circumstances. These special circumstances will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Financial assistance forms are available online or at either of the Thomas Park or Lowe Park offices. You will need to return the completed assistance form, which requires proof of income as well as any additional assistance, to one of our offices. If approved, you will be required to pay a 25 percent co-payment of the recreation program cost and a 50 percent co-payment for a swimming pool pass and pool programs.
