Parks/Facilities
The City of Marysville is 3.42 square miles and is completely surrounded by levees. It has 15 parks within the city limits that promote comfortable, safe play areas and encourage individual, family and group activities. These parks are classified as community parks, neighborhood parks and passive parks.
Community Parks are large parks that are designed for organized activities, sports and large group functions such as meetings and picnics. They are well equipped to deal with both local groups and other regional groups that draw people from outside of Marysville, such as the Yuba Sutter Youth Soccer League.
Neighborhood Parks are found throughout the residential areas of Marysville. They cater to the residents of those neighborhoods and provide an area for outdoor activities. Most of these parks have play equipment for children, large open play areas and benches or picnic tables.
Passive Parks are green spaces that are simply small landscaped parcels of City owned property. They provide nice locations to enjoy a picnic and enjoy a nice day.
