E.P. Ripley Park has been the heart of Marceline since 1898. The city takes great pride in it’s maintenance and the residents utilize it on a daily basis. Elias Disney would occasionally fiddle in the park’s bandstand while the Disney children found refuge from the hot summer sun under the dappled leaves of it’s majestic trees.
