The tennis court area looked a little run down. There was a nice walking trail and sports facility for track and soccer. That facility looked very nice and I hope it still gets used even though the school is closed. We were able to notice a nice track and sports complex. We noticed a walking trail. It was also nice to see a pool. Most small towns are unable to afford the upkeep for those amenities. Clean with a swimming pool. Beautiful park near the pool-also observed a new park at the edge of town near a trail. There is also a disc golf course, which doubles as a trail for hikers. The trails seem appropriate for a variety of activities. There is Pioneer trail (walking trail) on the north side of town when you come in, rodeo grounds and park are near each other. Didn’t see outdoor sports complex, but I probably overlooked it. I am sure they have one if they had a school. It was probably next to rodeo ground and I was more focused on that. There was a nice-looking city park with a swimming pool. Small skate park, Fairgrounds – ballpark Recreation/Tourism Is the community well-known for any particular attraction or event? Do they have a community slogan that capitalizes on that asset? As far as I could tell, the community is known for the Kansas Motorcycle Museum. I do not recall of the town having a slogan. The community seems to focus mostly on their Motorcycle Museum (which was fantastic) and even holds events celebrating motorcycles. Motorcycle Museum The motorcycle museum is probably the focal point for this one- especially advertised and well attended during May for the motorcycle rally. “Beautiful Downtown Marquette” Is what you see or hear. AND they DO have a beautiful downtown. They are known for the Motorcycle museum. After being there, and I had heard about their motorcycle rally. Rusty Tin has an upcoming “Vintage in the Valley.” They have an amazing Melodrama, but I wouldn’t have found this out other than I have gone in the past. Don’t know Did you see any indication of significant events taking place in the community that would be of interest to both visitors and residents? We were told about the motorcycle rally being held at the end of May. I didn’t notice any signs about the event. There may have been some at the museum. Mostly we found out about a bike rally at the end of May by word of mouth. I did not see anywhere promoting of that event. N/A N/A
