MONROE - The Monroe Parks and Recreation Department will begin taking shelter, community center, bandshell and pool reservations for the 2013 year on Wednesday, Jan. 2.
Reservations are for the shelter only. The park facilities, restrooms in shelters, and parking lots are for general public use. There may be other activities going on in the park. Contact the Monroe Parks and Recreation office closer to the date of your rental for information on park activities.

A special event permit is needed if there are more than 200 people attending; there are outside attractions (ie dunk tank, inflatables, etc); there will be a canopy tent; the event is open to the public; or there is admission charged, donations collected or anything being sold.
