Monroe park rededication Monday

MONROE — The city will officially reopen its revamped Father Cairns Park with a rededication and ribbon cutting at 6:30 p.m. Monday.

The Monroe Parks and Recreation Division put together a master plan with input from the community and stakeholders in 2017 for the park at 802 W. Eighth St., which was initially dedicated in 1933. City council approved redevelopment plans in 2022.

“Not only was the park underdeveloped, but it is located in a neighborhood that is underserved in overall park offerings,” city officials said in an internet posting.
