Belk Tonawanda Park: Phase 1-B

BELK TONAWANDA PARK: PHASE 2

Belk Tonawanda Park, which is located in Downtown Monroe, has been a focal point of the City’s park system for years. This community park has hosted numerous special events, as well as, provided a special place for birthday parties, family reunions and picnics. Recently, the Bearskin Creek Greenway connected this park to Downtown Monroe, the Union County Farmer’s Market and Don Griffin Park. The greenway, which runs along Bearskin Creek, allows users to enjoy their walk in the midst of a natural area full of the beautiful flora and fauna indigenous to the Monroe area. Monroe Parks and Recreation is excited to announce new additions coming soon to Belk Tonawanda Park. After months of planning and gathering information from our community, the Parks and Recreation Department was able to determine which new additions would be the best fit at this park. In conjunction with a matching grant secured through the North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, the City of Monroe’s Parks and Recreation Department will be able to provide our community with several new and engaging amenities. The Belk Tonawanda Renovation project will include an approximately 2200 square foot splash pad, picnic shelter, restroom, outdoor exercise station, additional paved trails, and permanent outdoor cornhole boards and tennis tables. Stay tuned for more information on this renovation project. MONROENC.ORG/PARKSANDREC
