Pilot Park is located in the historic district on approximately 1.81 acres and is a little over .25 miles east of downtown Monroe at 515 East Church Street. It was the first park to receive a full rehabilitation in our city, and was reopened to the public in October of 2020. The rehabilitation included new ADA compliant playground equipment, benches, picnic tables, trash receptacles, swings, fencing, entrance signage, walkways, and landscaping! The project was completely funded by a portion of the SPLOST 2019 collections as voted on by Walton County voters!
The Parks Department is responsible for the upkeep, maintenance, and overall planning and design of the parks system throughout the City. The parks system has experienced many positive advancements due to the tax revenue collected from recent SPLOST votes.
Monroe is a town well-known for its beautiful, tree lined streets, shaded parking lots, and forested subdivisions. Trees here are well maintained according to best management practices and the community forest is healthy and diverse. City officials and staff, and the public at large, recognize that healthy trees are vital to a healthy economy, and that the community forest is an integral part of the City’s historic charm and inviting character.
