Active Living Centre
We will Bring the Town Back to the Water.
Marathon is building a new Active Living Centre to replace the aging Marathon Recreation Complex. We will situate this new centre on the shores of Lake Superior to help re-establish the waterfront as the hub for activity for the town. Our Vision is to develop an inclusive, multi-purpose recreation centre serving Marathon, Biigtigong Nishnaabeg First Nation, Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg First Nation, and the larger surrounding area.
