About Us
The Colfax Park North Park was donated by Martin Marietta in April of 2014 to the City of Colfax, IA. It was formerly a sand & gravel quarry and was no longer a profitable quarry and sat vacant. Several community members approached the company and discussions began to have the auxillary park board and eventually the city of colfax acquire the park.
