Kennedy Park, Public park in Fall River, Massachusetts
Kennedy Park extends across 57 acres of land, featuring three sections with recreational fields, sloping grounds with bay views, and wooded areas near the water.
Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux designed this park in 1868, initially named South Park, before its renaming in 1963 after President John F. Kennedy.
The Great Holy Ghost Feast of New England takes place in Kennedy Park each August, drawing 200,000 visitors for Azorean cultural celebrations.
The park contains baseball fields, an inclusion playground for children with disabilities, and an ice skating rink that converts to a bicycle area.
In 1832, this location became the center of national attention when Sarah Cornell's death led to a significant trial involving Methodist minister Ephraim Avery.
