Created in 1913 and named on the national register of historic places, Ritter Park is one-of-a-kind. The main entrance is lined by stately homes representing architecture from the years 1913 to 1940, including colonial revival, bungalow/craftsman, and Tudor revival. Lovingly maintained by the city and community volunteers, this public park features hiking/biking trails, a tennis center with 11 courts, an award-winning rose garden containing more than 3,500 rose plants, and a nationally-acclaimed playground noted for its climbing boulders, zip line, bongo drums, and dinosaur sand pit. When the weather is extra nice you will spot a Marshall student or two picnicking and sunbathing on blankets in the warm grass, setting up a hammock between two shady trees to study in comfort, throwing a frisbee, or catching fireflies. Visitors should toss a lucky coin into the stone fountain at the main entrance before making their way to the art show, car show, 5k event, LARP tournament, concert/play at the 1000-seat amphitheater, or any number of special events taking place just about every week in good weather.
