Beautifully situated along the east bank of the Monongahela River, the park provides the perfect place for peaceful walks and access to the river for fishing, boating, and other water sports. A three-lane ADA accessible boat ramp and dock and a kayak/canoe launch flank either side of the park. In addition, the Splash Pad is a favorite hang-out during the summer.
Live music, movie nights, car shows and various family-friendly activities and festivals are held throughout the summer months.

Fuzzy Knight Film Festival
Historically, the event was organized by the Marion County Historical Society and held in mid-August at Palatine Park in Fairmont, West Virginia. The festival honors Fairmont native John Forrest “Fuzzy” Knight (1901–1976), a famous Hollywood actor, singer, and WVU alumnus who appeared as a comedic cowboy sidekick in more than 180 Western films and TV shows. Past festivals featured live string band music, cheerleading performances, and outdoor big-screen viewings of his classic films like The Shepherd of the Hills.
