Monroe Park unofficially demarcates the eastern "point" of the fan district and is considered to be Richmond's oldest Park.
Monroe park is pentagonal in shape, with an arrangement of paved paths among lawns and mature deciduous trees, intersecting at a cast iron fountain in the center of the area. This Victorian Park is currently in the planning process of undergoing an historically sensitive extensive renovation. The Monroe Park Advisory Council, an organization reconstituted by City Councilman William Pantele in 2003, in partnership with the Richmond Department of Parks, Recreation and Commununity Facilities and Richmond's Department of Community Development are leading the charge.
