But despite that, the park promotes a well-maintained playground for children, complete with swings, slides, full court basketball, volleyball with net, wood chip playground, and a handball/wall ball court-- Rainbow! Adjacent to the playground is a large grassy area that is perfect for picnics and games. There are also several picnic tables and BBQ grills available for visitors to use.

After an afternoon of reveling with family and in-laws during USA's Independence Day at my oldest niece and nephew-in-law's new (and first) home, we all ended the holiday at the city's annual 4th of July fireworks show at Monrovia Library Park. A 13-acre park (daily park hours from sunrise to 10:00pm) with a bandshell, drinking fountains, outdoor fountain, playground equipment, statues, walking trails, and more, in proximity to Old Town Monrovia. Now that I had a reason to be in this city, I expected to further explore the area. Did we have an explosive time at Monrovia's Library Park!? PURCHASE(S) None to speak of; we just enjoyed the great outdoors and watched the fireworks! THE EVENT Used for several purposes throughout the year, this was their annual 4th of July fireworks show. Here were some notables: ~About 20-minutes of bright colorful exhilarating explosions in the night sky, it was an impressive presentation especially for a small town. ~Because the crowds were already large at the park itself and parking/traffic was horrendous all around the park, we found a perfectly good spot barely a block away to take in the spectacle. ~The sound system was still booming enough to be clearly heard from where we were observing. SERVICE In this particular case, because we were offsite as we admired the festive fireworks, we didn't experience any service directly tied with the event. However, in the parking lot where we were, the business associated with that (I wish I could remember the business) provided folding chairs, which was so kind of them - thank you! PARKING (Varied: N/A this instance): We simply walked a casual 15 minutes from my niece and nephew-in-law's home to a favorable site to view the fireworks. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots along the main drags of Myrtle Ave., E. Palm Ave., S. Primrose Ave., W. Lima Ave., and all surrounding roads (I didn't notice any lots) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A public space filled with greenery, trees, places to relax and sit, plenty of people-watching opportunities, and nice neighborhood views as you dreamt away. There was plenty of natural lighting since you were outdoors while electric street lights filled in once the sun went down. Generally speaking, outside of special events, there weren't any TVs while the chatter of conversations and the sounds of vehicle traffic (patriotic music played in the background for this event). ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL We were generally appreciative and surprised of the annual 4th of July fireworks show at Monrovia Library Park, and we wouldn't mind returning next year. Additionally, they held music festivals and other local events at this facility, which I would like to attend in the future. I honestly had no idea what to expect onsite, but I'm excited to find out. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $0.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
