Our Parks, Our Places: Parks, Arts, & Recreation Needs Assessment and Master Plan

Our Parks Need You!

Parks and Recreation is a key part of what makes Monticello special. Our community has invested in playgrounds, green spaces and gardens, sports fields, and the arts to give people places and programming to enjoy.

Now we’re looking to the future of parks, arts, and recreation – and we need your help.

This year, we’re completing an assessment of the infrastructure, amenities, and programming we already have and thinking about what we want to offer in the future. To make sure our efforts truly reflect our community, we want to hear your ideas for the future of recreation in Monticello.

We’re hosting a series of public events throughout the summer along with digital tools to connect with the public. Join us and help shape the future of Parks, Arts, and Recreation!
