Mission:

The Monterey Park Recreation and Parks Department enriches lives and fosters harmony within the community through citywide programs.

We believe quality of life is improved through healthy life styles, educational and recreational opportunities, Public participation, respect, compassion, and enhancement of our urban forest.

We accomplish this through community outreach, quality programming, activities and events, safe, and well-maintained parks and facilities, and an aesthetically pleasing environment that is provided by professional and caring employees, contractors and volunteers.
