The case of Pleasant Grove City v. Summum dealt with the issue of monuments in public parks. Specifically, the Summum religious group sought to have a monument of their Seven Aphorisms placed in a public park alongside other monuments, but the city of Pleasant Grove denied their request. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that the city of Pleasant Grove had the right to display certain monuments in its public parks and was not required to accept all requests for monument placements.
