Kennedy Park, Public park in Cork, Ireland
Kennedy Park is a green space of about 7.5 acres between Victoria Road and Monahan Road in Cork, featuring walking trails and sports facilities. The grounds have multiple entry points connected to surrounding neighborhoods with dedicated paths for runners and exercise stations.
The park was named after U.S. President John F. Kennedy's visit to Cork in June 1963. This name reflects historical ties between Ireland and the United States.
The park serves local sports teams as a training ground and hosts community activities throughout the year. It functions as a gathering place where neighbors gather for exercise and outdoor recreation.
The park is accessible from multiple sides and connects well with surrounding neighborhoods, making it easy to reach on foot. Wear sturdy shoes when visiting, especially in wet weather, as the paths have varying surfaces.
In 2012, the park underwent renewal with new pathways and botanical improvements marked by a commemorative plaque. This redesign gave the space fresh character and made it more inviting for community gatherings.
