Merriam Farmers Market

At Merriam Parks and Recreation, we are dedicated to offering a wide array of classes and workshops that promote fitness and wellness. The Merriam Community Center is a hub for creating lasting memories, especially for children playing and enjoying the pools.

We are committed to bringing the community closer by hosting monthly art exhibits at the Tim Murphy Art Gallery, facilitating a connection between local farmers and residents at the Farmers' Market located at Merriam Marketplace. Throughout the year, we organize exciting events inviting families and friends to partake in the annual Turkey Creek Festival, Turkey Creek Car and Motorcycle Show, and the Merriam Drive Live!

Our facilities focus on various programs, including youth programs aimed at keeping young people active and energized, and adult programs offering fitness classes, workshops, and personal training. We also have a thriving component dedicated to individuals aged 50 and above, with programs ensuring that both the mind and body remain active.

This department also oversees the Merriam Park, Recreation and Community Center Foundation, established in 1988, to support facilities, programs, and parks throughout Merriam. The foundation has generously contributed to various projects, such as program and membership scholarships for low-income residents and sponsorship of events like Merriam Drive Live.

Located at 6040 Slater St., Merriam, our Community Center serves as a gateway for versatile recreational and wellness services, aiming at bringing quality recreational opportunities to all resident households regardless of their financial background.
