Kennedypark, Public park in Aachen, Germany.
The Kennedypark spans 52,000 square meters of green space, featuring walking paths, sports fields, playgrounds, and a skateboarding area in eastern Aachen.
The park, inaugurated in September 1966, occupies the former site of the Yellow Barracks, which housed Prussian, French, and Belgian military forces until 1929.
Eight Doric columns from the original Yellow Barracks mark the entrance, while a mosaic wall project completed in 2009 displays jungle-themed art created by community members.
The modernized facilities include an all-weather sports field, tree playground, dedicated areas for young children, and shaded spaces for activities like petanque.
The park transformation involved student architects from RWTH Aachen who designed a stage for community events following extensive public participation processes.
