<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Marquette</strong><br />
Mount <strong>Marquette</strong> Lookout<br />
Located on Mount <strong>Marquette</strong> <strong>of</strong>f the Mount <strong>Marquette</strong> Road near the Carp River, a lookout<br />
provides a panoramic scenic view <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Marquette</strong> and Lake Superior. It is also part <strong>of</strong> a<br />
groomed snowmobile trail, hiking trails and the South <strong>Marquette</strong> Trail System. The access<br />
road to this site is very steep and the condition varies throughout the year. However, it is<br />
generally in poor condition.<br />
<strong>Marquette</strong> Commons<br />
A town square was constructed in 2005 in downtown <strong>Marquette</strong>. The site was part <strong>of</strong> the linear<br />
park rail corridor acquisition. Phase 1 <strong>of</strong> the project reconfigured a parking facility to integrate<br />
better with downtown and the proposed Commons. The <strong>Marquette</strong> Commons includes an ice<br />
skating plaza and a warming house building with restrooms and gathering area. The plaza is<br />
used for art exhibits, a farmers market and performances during other seasons. The building<br />
also provides restrooms for downtown.<br />
The skating plaza was constructed with piping in the concrete slab for the future addition <strong>of</strong><br />
refrigeration equipment. This investment will greatly extend the ice skating season.<br />
