Confirmed from St. Mary's Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Sprawling park featuring a playground for kids to play on and picnic tables.

“An amphitheater is available and well maintained.”
“It's great for the community with yoga wednesday evenings, tennis courts open everyday, and a great view of the river.”
“There are serene trails to walk on and enjoy a quite walk.”
Had a great time walking through. It is a nice & calm spot in the middle of town.
This park features a beautiful view of the Monroe skyline and river, river walk, playground, stage, restrooms, etc. The park is well tended and enjoyed by the community. I attended Monroe Gay Pride Fest and was impressed by the event this small community was able to pull off.
Such a cute park next to where the parades happen over the holidays. Great access to downtown historical statues. Over looking the river with great walking bridges. An amphitheater is available and well maintained.
I was there for Shout! The Beatles Tribute Band. I had a wonderful time. The stage was set close to the river, and the grassy area in front of the stage rose on an incline to the road. So everyone has a good view of the stage. It really is a nice park.
