Our Layout
A perfect blend of sports and leisure
In developing each aspect of the park, our theme is "Quality of Life Through Recreation, Athletics, Leisure, and Socialization". Qualities that
build strong families and communities are formed at an early age and need to be nourished throughout life. Those qualities include trustworthiness, respect,
responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.The following is a brief description of our vision.
The Little League fields will provide ample space for our youth baseball and softball programs to expand. The multiuse ball field and open green spaces will provide additional locations for year round recreation activities for youth, high school and adult activities. In all, 5 ball diamonds, equipped with dugouts, bleachers, score boards, batting cages and necessary safety equipment will be constructed.
The Youth Soccer Fields will be located south and east of the ball diamonds.Two youth soccer fields, bleachers and a warm up area are being constructed. In the fall, this area can also be used for flag football practice. Other activities may include, flying kites, playing tag or just laying in the grass watching the clouds roll by.
The Spray Park and Playground is an interactive area for children to flex their muscles and imagination. The spray park will provide water activities for children and adults, and a place to cool off on a hot day.
Paved walking/bike trails will provide safe routes off the motorized travel routes in town. Many residents walk, jog, run or bike to improve health and wellness. Monroe is also the center leg of a multi-use trail network being planned from Lake Red Rock to Prairie City.
Park beautification is an important consideration. A picturesque pond with fishing docks will be constructed. Numerous shade trees, flower and shrub plantings, shelters, picnic areas, barbeque pits and park benches will enhance the park.
The only limit to what we can achieve is our imagination.
Imagine the possibilities if we all work together to make The Monroe Recreation Park a success.
