Marion County Parks is hoping residents will share their best photos of their favorite local parks and amenities in a new photo contest.

From July 1 through 31, residents are invited to submit a photo or video of their favorite local park or recreation facility each week via email to parks@marionfl.org.

Parks and Recreation officials are asking that the photos capture the different county parks and facilities located across Marion County, as well as pets in their owners at dog-friendly parks. Other activities that can be captured in the photos include water activities, hiking, biking, or spotting different plants and wildlife.
