How is a green­space beneficial?

The Nation­al Recre­ation and Parks Asso­ci­a­tion says, ​“more time spent in parks and green spaces can help indi­vid­u­als fight against men­tal health issues like depres­sion, anx­i­ety and stress. Mak­ing sure that all peo­ple have access to parks and out­door pro­gram­ming is a crit­i­cal way to increase these pos­i­tive effects on health and qual­i­ty of life for your community.”

The City of Mar­i­on and Radi­ant Health’s Hands of Hope recent­ly col­lab­o­rat­ed to open the Har­ry Cramer Green­space at 21^st and Brown­lee Streets as part of a shared goal to cre­ate more inclu­sive envi­ron­ments in the city that encour­age pos­i­tive inter­ac­tions as well as com­mu­ni­ty sup­port. The green­space offi­cial­ly opened on Octo­ber 17^th, 2024, and is now being enjoyed by many res­i­dents who live in or vis­it the area.

The green­space is main­tained by the City of Marion.
