Winter Access Limited
Gates were installed in select locations throughout the cemetery. This will allow specific areas to be closed for winter due to steep terrain and proximity to headstones. This will prevent vehicle accidents and prevent damage to headstones and other items in the cemetery. The gates will also allow staff to close sections of the cemetery for any needed maintenance.
Marion Parks and Recreation manages the beautiful and historic City-owned cemetery located at 789 2nd Avenue. Spaces may be purchased at the Administrative and Operations Office, Thomas Park. If the space is not for an immediate need, it may be
