Post Park in Marathon

Feb 6, 2022
1 min read


A great park by any name! Camp Peña Colorado, Fort Peña Park, The Post: Post Park in Marathon has many names. Located 5 miles south on Avenue D, it is a treasure in Marathon.



This county run park is free and open to the public. Dozens of picnic tables, onsite charcoal grills and public restrooms make this a great place to have a barbecue or picnic.



The stocked pond is a popular fishing spot and the large tree canopy makes this a great birding site.



The pond is fed by a natural spring and is a lifeline for wildlife in the desert. It was once the site of a U.S. Army post and has a rich history.



The resident ducks are entertaining. If you're going to feed the ducks, we recommend fresh or frozen veggies like peas or corn (not canned). Feeding ducks bread products can lead to health problems.



Post Park is surrounded by incredible geology. The park is open to the public but is surrounded by private land, so be respectful and do not trespass.



Post Park hosts many parties throughout the year. The 4th of July dance takes place on the outdoor dance floor with a live band. This dance has been taking place for over a hundred years!



There are also cookoffs and other events in this community park.



Enjoy your time at this desert oasis in Marathon!

Post Park sounds like a genuine desert gem—free, peaceful, and full of history with that spring-fed pond. I’d love to picnic under the trees and watch the ducks, though I’d stick to peas or corn so they stay healthy. sms-bus

Mình có lần lướt đọc mấy trao đổi trên mạng شيخ روحاني thì thấy nhắc nên cũng tò mò mở ra xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu sâu جلب الحبيب chỉ xem qua trong thời gian ngắn để quan sát bố cục جلب الحبيب cách sắp xếp شيخ روحاني các mục và trình bày nội شيخ روحاني dung tổng thể. Cảm giác là các phần được trình bày khá gọn, các Huren Berlin mục rõ ràng nên đọc lướt cũng không bị rối với mình như Hurentest Berlin vậy là đủ để nắm tin cơ bản rồi. جلب الحبيب

Sounds like a great spot to spend an afternoon. The stocked pond fed by a natural spring and that big tree canopy for birding sound especially nice, and free county-run parks with picnic tables and grills are hard to beat. One thing worth double-checking: the name history here seems a little muddled, so the "probably stolen wiki" version of the story might be worth verifying before repeating it.

Sun protection is one of the most valuable habits in a facial skincare routine. Regular exposure to ultraviolet radiation contributes to premature skin aging and increases the risk of skin damage. Broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is generally recommended for everyday protection. Apply it to exposed facial areas and reapply approximately every two hours outdoors, especially www.luxskinlasers.com after sweating or swimming. Hats, shade, and protective clothing provide additional support, helping maintain skin health while reducing unnecessary exposure to sunlight.

It’s great to see community spaces being highlighted and appreciated for the value they bring to residents and visitors. Clear communication can also help people stay connected with local updates, which is where Electronic Message Center Signs can be especially useful.
