Parks & Recreation Master Plan

The City of Monroe has partnered with CARBO Landscape Architecture to enhance the beauty and functionality of Monroe’s largest parks: Charles Johnson Park, Chennault Park, and Forsythe Park. By seeking input from local residents and collaborating with other designers, a Master Plan has been developed to guide the parks’ improvements. This plan will harmonize with surrounding neighborhood advancements to create a vibrant and welcoming community space.
