Marshall Aquatic Center

Fun is just a splash away at the Marshall Aquatic Center, with a 190 foot water slide and three pools to entertain every age. Plunge into the diving well, swim laps or just enjoy a leisurely dip with friends.

For the younger set, play under the bubbler in the shallow pool, or check out the playground area filled with sand volleyball, relax on a deck chair or equipment just for preschoolers. If a stroll past the concession stand stocked soaking up the sun is your passion, play with your summertime favorites.

The Aquatic Center is available for private parties and corporate nights and also features youth and family nights along with open swimming. Call Marshall Community Services at (507) 537-6767 for more information or to make reservations.
