Discover the pleasures that Marysville and its Parks and Recreation offer the active spirit in everyone. The rolling hillsides of Jennings Memorial/Nature Park provide a great place to stroll, picnic, play ball or bike ride. The Rotary Ranch Petting Zoo is a perennial summer favorite among young animal lovers, and Gehl House Museum turns the clock back to slower times. High rollers with that lucky feeling can visit the Tulalip Tribes Casino. Cedarcrest Golf Course offers an enjoyable day on the greens beneath canopies of tall cedars, more so since it underwent a multi-million renovation in 1997.

Marysville is also a portal to many regional outdoor activities. Peaks like domineering Mount Pilchuck, Three Fingers, Whitehorse and Glacier Peak present hikers and climbers with breathtaking vistas of Snohomish County and Puget Sound.

Local waters accessible by boat launch provide fishing to challenge the most avid angler, and the Snohomish River Delta system offers boaters, kayakers and canoers a firsthand view of exotic wetland and aquatic wildlife. Twin Lakes, Wenberg and Gissberg state parks cater to campers, boaters and beachcombers.
