Markey Township

Parks & Recreation

Markey Memorial Park

There is a dog park, K-9 Corners, in the northwest corner of the park. A large pavilion with bathrooms and two barbecues for public use is located near the play structures. There are 2 ball fields, Meibeyer Field and Cameron Field. We recently added a bird and butterfly garden near the large pavilion.

Playground equipment includes a 100 ft. Zip Line, Gaga Ball, a tether ball, swings, a backhoe digger, 3 play structures, 18-hole disc golf, horseshoe pits and volleyball. We also have a one mile fitness path with 11 fitness stations.

Truman Gardner Park

At the park you will find two new asphalt tennis courts, with lines for pickle ball, a basketball court, shuffle board, horseshoes, a pavilion with two barbecues, and various playground equipment, including a tether ball. Sports equipment is available for use in the park. Pick up a basketball, horse shoes, tennis racket, or shuffleboard set at the Country Peddler Store across from the park. Your $5.00 deposit is refunded at the time equipment is returned in good condition by 8:00pm.

About our Parks

We also welcome donations of money for the purchase of additional picnic tables, benches and additional equipment. A great way to
memorialize a family member.

We have added “Little Free Libraries” at each park and would appreciate donations of children and young adult books. This is a free exchange
program.

Volunteers and suggestions are encouraged for ideas and help in developing both parks.

Dog Bone Plaques with your dog(s) name will be hung on the shelter at the K-9 Corners for a $20 donation. Fill out the flyer below if interested.

Each park has two pavilions which are now reservable.

Meeting Dates

This committee meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 10:00am at the Township Hall.
