The Village's Boys and Girls Club and the nearby waterpark
The Boys and Girls Club of Grant County offers health and empowerment programs just a few blocks from homes in The Village. Just a bit north of the community, Marion Splash House is where people cool off in the summer, open Memorial Day through Labor Day. “It’s very popular because of the racer slides,” says Layla Price-Bodkin, supervisor of Marketing and Community Development for the City of Marion. “There’s even a wave pool and we have the largest waves. And if you’re into surfing, you can do that.” The Cardinal Greenway Trail goes right past the waterpark, where people can walk, jog, bike and skate along the 62-mile path stretching through the city and beyond.

Walking to and from Marion's schools in The Village
Students living east of Branson Street head to Allen Elementary School for kindergarten through fourth grade, while those on the opposite side go to Frances Slocum Elementary School, which is within walking distance. Niche gives both schools a C rating. Fifth and sixth graders attend Justice Thurgood Marshall Intermediate School, which gets a C-plus. At C-rated McCulloch Junior High School, within walking distance of The Village, students can enroll in the Advanced High School Credit program to earn their required courses early. Marion High School earns a B-minus. Indiana Wesleyan University is about a mile south of the neighborhood and enrolls about 2,000 undergraduate students.

Exploring vintage aircraft at the airport and Christmas lights at the park
Because The Village is on the southern half of the city, people here are closer to the municipal airport — while it doesn’t have commercial flights, it does host events, like the annual Fly/In Cruise/In. The event showcases different vintage and antique vehicles and aircraft. “It’s been around for 30-plus years,” Price-Bodkin says. “I got to go up in a 1928 airplane.” On the opposite side of town, Matter Park hosts the annual Walkway of Lights, where over 2 million lights bring the park to life every evening from Thanksgiving to New Years.

Taking the bus to the grocery store or downtown
Factories and industrial facilities sit on the western side of The Village, including Indiana Corrugated and Ozark’s Materials. Café Valley, an industrial-scale commercial bakery, is just south of the community. Together, all three support Marion’s industrial workforce. However, those not working close to home can go down Adams Street to downtown, just 2 miles away. Marion Health Family Medical Center is just 2.5 miles north and is another major employer for the city. Multiple bus routes run through the neighborhood, linking residents with amenities like downtown and the supermarkets.The Village's local pubs and bars
Pubs and bars line Washington Street in The Village, like Big H Sports Bar and RP’s Pub. For barbeque, people can stop in The Taste right outside The Village on the other side of 33rd Street. A Family Dollar is just off Adams Street for a convenient grocery stop. More shopping and dining options are west of the neighborhood along Western Avenue. Flanked by small retail strip malls and a Walmart Supercenter, the corridor includes local restaurants like Casa Brava Authentic Mexican Cuisine and fast-food chains like Culver's and Popeye's.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
