Recreational opportunities have always abounded in Monett. The Monett City Park
System began with a 1921 bond election. In 1923, 40 acres were purchased and a
swimming pool constructed. The park lake and casino building were constructed
around 1926. Today many enjoy the municipal pool, tennis courts, ball field,
skateboard park and more.
Movies have also been a part of Monett since the early
1900s with Dreamland Theatre and the famous Gillioz Theatre.
Recently a new
Monett YMCA organized with many worthwhile programs. A new facility is planned
in the near future.
Other recreational attractions include the
Roaring River State Park in Cassville, the Promised Land Zoo in Eagle Rock and
more. Area golf facilities include the Monett Municipal Golf Course, Bryce Oaks
Golf Club, |
