Parks and Recreation CommissionProviding Places, Programs for Enjoyment
Quality recreation and leisure programs and safe and attractive parks and
recreation facilities foster a healthy, active community. Here in Monterey, the Parks and
Recreation Commission helps develop the top-rate programs, activities and maintenance
schedules we have all come to depend on.
"There are so many exciting projects just
waiting to unfold," says Commissioner Jeani Cooney. "I’m proud to be a
member of the Commission and be able to support and meet the needs of Monterey
families."
What do they deal with?
The seven-member Commission oversees a diverse program that
includes camps, parades, community centers, parks, baseball fields, playgrounds and the
Recreation Trail. The Commission helps develop the network of events and programs that
meet the needs of all age groups.
Projects the Commission has brought to the community
include the Monterey Sports Center,
five Community Centers, Dennis the Menace Playground, and the new Skate Park located
behind Frank E. Sollecito Jr. Ballpark.
Activities in the works include: update of the Parks
and Recreation Master Plan; bleacher expansion at Jacks Park; improvements and expansion
of the Monterey Senior Center; and expansion of the Monterey Sports Center.
