The Town of Marion, Virginia will receive $3,427,479 under a Project Grant award from the Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office. The funding will support enhancements to Callan Drive Recreation Park through the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916). Specifically, grant funds will be used to expand an existing dog park, construct park access roads, softball and soccer fields, a playground, amphitheater, and trails. Restroom and parking facilities will also be upgraded to meet ADA accessibility standards. The work funded aims to develop a nature-based recreational green space in the town's center per the priorities identified in the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation will serve as a sub-awardee to assist with delivering the park improvements over the three-year period from October 2022 through September 2025.
