If you have an upcoming event and need space, consider renting our Community Room, which is attached to Marion’s main fire station.
Rules
- The room is available for non-commercial use (for example, birthday parties, baby showers, family reunions, homeowners association meetings, political campaign events, and maker/crafter gatherings).
- We do not charge charities or public service event organizers, such as hunter’s ed classes.
- We do not allow anyone to rent the community room to make money; renters cannot sell goods or services.
- Anyone renting the room for political campaign purposes must make it known to attendees that the Marion Fire Department/District does NOT endorse any political candidates or parties. Political campaign events are charged the same fee(s) as non-commercial users.
Amenities
The Marion Community Room is wheelchair-accessible and has separate men’s and women’s rest rooms. It also has an attached kitchen available for rent. The Marion Community Room is large enough to comfortably host gatherings of up to 125 people.
Rental Fee Schedule
- Public-service event $0 (no kitchen use) or $50 (to use kitchen)
- Non-commercial user = $100 (no kitchen use) or $150 (to use kitchen)
Refundable Deposit
In addition to the rental fee, users must provide a $100 refundable deposit and sign a rental agreement stating that they will leave the community room and kitchen in a condition at least as well as they received it. Deposits are usually returned the same day of the event—after the room is inspected for damage and general cleanliness / tidiness.
Availability
If the community center is unavailable for rental, the calendar below will show “busy” for either the entire day or a period of time on that day.
