Marathon Park's 78 acres are enclosed within a bustling metropolitan area and within minutes of many growing communities. Hundreds of stately, towering white pines provide a dramatic natural setting for the recently constructed Amphitheater, central Wisconsin's finest, permanent outdoor venue with a seating capacity of nearly 10,000.
From the impressive, sheltered Amphitheater on the west to East Gate Hall at the east entrance, a myriad of events can be accommodated. Marathon Park offers event planners flexibility and convenience with its signature, historic Exhibition Building, four Agricultural Buildings, two large Multipurpose Buildings and a wide open Festival Grounds. Ample parking, secured access to the facilities you rent and a friendly, cooperative support staff can help make your next concert, show or event a huge success.
Beyond providing a diversified event venue Marathon Park is also home to a miniature train and concessions at Marathon Junction, a Splash Pad, outdoor dog exercise area, a campground with heated shower building, a variety of small to mid sized reservable shelters, several playgrounds, tennis courts, pickleball court, basketball court and walking trails
