Wolfe Park Picnic Areas

There are three (Rotary Pavilion, Pathway Pavilion and Pond View - 285 Cutlers Farm Road) areas at the pool side and three (Oak Grove, Cedar Grove, and the Concession Pavilion- 454 Purdy Hill Road) at the lake side of Wolfe Park.  

The Pond View picnic area is just off the main parking lot. You can play a game of sand volleyball, bocce and ga ga with game equipment.

There is electricity available and a food truck can pull up nicely to the side of the building. Your guests would park in the overflow gravel parking lot from Memorial Day weekend through Labor day Monday if they do not have the Monroe Resident car sticker. Bounce houses are allowed but must not interfere with any walkways that the public has access to and must be secured in a space that doesn't disturb underground piping and wires. 

The Rotary Pavilion is a covered 32’ x 44’ pavilion located across the walkway from the basketball courts and conveniently located near both playground areas. All of the picnic tables fit nicely under the pavilion but are also portable for your convenience. Full service bathrooms are available by the flag pole/pool entrance area.
