Park Today
The Park is currently nearly surrounded by VCU's Monroe Park campus. In 2005 the Park was installed with public wi-fi technology.
As of now, artificial lighting of the park is relatively poor, though there are plans to significantly improve lighting in the near term. The Park also attracts homeless people, in part due to the proximity of the park to various charitable churches and feeding programs in the area. Monroe Park is currently the site of numerous feedings for homeless and other needy people on Friday and Saturday.
