Lowe Park, located at 4500 N. 10th Street, is a hidden gem located just a short drive from Uptown Marion.

Home to walking trails, a children’s discovery garden, complete with a playground and lily pond - it's the perfect place to bring the entire family. Visit the art gallery or consider the Lowe Park Arts and Environment Center for your facility rental needs. 

The park is also home to the Klopfenstein Amphitheater for the Performing Arts, which is used for various programs, community events, and private rentals. The amphitheater project grew out of the Marion Chamber's Imagine8 community visioning process. 

The $1.7 million project received generous support at the local, county and state levels. The venue features a 50-foot-wide stage, a sub-stage and an oak leaf-like sculptured canopy made of Corten steel.

If you like gardening, you can visit the Iowa State University Master Gardeners' Demonstration Gardens. Or head over to the Lowe Park community gardens and watch members tend to one of more than 60 garden plots. 

The west half of the 180-acre park is accessed via 4901 Alburnett Road. The park offers eight baseball and softball diamonds. Parking is available in partnership with Linn-Mar Community Schools.

A new entrance from the south via Irish Drive provides access to additional parking and walking trails that connect the east and west sections of the park.

The all-inclusive playground was completed in August of 2019 and is accessible from the Irish Drive entrance.
