Pleasant Township Park
About the Business
Pleasant Township Park, located in Marion, Ohio, United States, was once farmland owned by the Seiter Family since the late 1800s. The township purchased a 27-acre parcel of this land in 1999, with 19 acres designated for the park and the rest for future development. With the help of a NatureWorks grant from ODNR, Phase 1 of park development began in 2004, including an entrance drive, parking lot, trees, shelter house, and trails. In 2004, an additional 20 acres of Seiter farmland was purchased, with a wetland and prairie complex and a windmill installed. Funding from the Ohio Public Works Commission Clean Ohio Conservation Fund helped with this project. In 2006, a third parcel of 12 acres was purchased, with funding from ODNR NatureWorks and Land and Water Conservation Fund. Phase 3 involved converting part of this parcel into grassland habitat. The park now offers approximately 60 acres of preserved green space for the enjoyment of current and future generations.

Reviews
"It's a beautiful spot with lots of colors and changing trees!"
"Nice place to go for a walk and listen to your children whine about bugs."
"This is a really nice park. It has a large reservable shelter area that is kept up well and has a lot of picnic tables plus three grills next to it. There are also three additional picnic tables that are really nice outside where you could sit. There is a porta-potty, it was clean and looked like it had been recently serviced when I was there. There are about two miles of walking trails that go through the woods and also through a meadow. All kinds of beautiful wildflowers and a pond. The woods were nice and shady but a little buggy, but that's just nature. Would definitely come here again."
"Nice place for a walk or short run. Recently paved more pathway and now it has blacktop around retaining pond."
"Nice little park just outside of Marion. Usually pretty quiet place with not much activity. Nice paved walkway through the wooded area in which to enjoy the trees and catch a glimpse of some critters. Nice pond past the wooded area, catch ducks or geese there. The park is well maintained, and they do have a port a potty there as well. A decent size shelter house for picnics."
