Confirmed from Lowe Park Irish Dr Entrance's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring modern playground equipment, picnic areas, a baseball field, and hiking trails.

Lower Park in Marion is one of the most beautiful and relaxing parks in the area. The park is very well maintained, clean, and welcoming for families, walkers, and nature lovers. One of the best things about Lower Park is the peaceful atmosphere.
This new accessibility park is wonderful and has a small cement trail around it and the nearest pavillion so you can walk while your kids are playing. Bathrooms were modern and clean, with running water and electricity so that is a huge plus!
A great easily accessible park with a walking trail to check out as well. The playground is perfect for even the little ones to the elementary age kids.
This is a really fun park. I love walking the trail and looking at all the community gardens. This little playground is great for kids!
