About Us

  
    The Marion County Parks And Recreation Commission (MCPARC), supported by The Marion County Commission, Board of Education, and the City of Fairmont, was formed in 1977. It is the home of West Virginia's first Wave  Pool and within its 8 parks are a multitude of facilities covering over 3000 acres.  MCPARC also maintains 20 miles of rail trails in the county.
