Parks Master Plan to Shape the Future of City’s Open Spaces
The City of Monterey Park, Recreation and Community Services Department is excited to announce the completion of the Parks System Master Plan. The planning process was launched in January of 2024, and the Monterey Park City Council adopted the final plan on August 6, 2025.
This planning initiative reflects the City of Monterey Park's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents through thoughtful and strategic planning and investment. The planning process was community-driven, ensuring that the voices of residents were heard and valued.
Throughout the process, the City of Monterey Park and the consultant team, City Fabrick, worked to uplift the voices of all residents, stakeholders, and partners, including those who have been historically marginalized from the decision-making process and those most vulnerable to long-range planning decisions.
Funding for this ambitious project was made possible with support from Los Angeles County Measure A. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to investing in local parks and recreational facilities to enhance the overall quality of life for residents across the region.
