Confirmed from John F. Kennedy Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring baseball fields, tennis courts, and a playground, plus a skate park and picnic facilities.
What runners say about John F. Kennedy Park
“There is a bathroom down past the smaller playground closer to the tennis courts that was quite clean and easily accessible.”
“Fun playground for all ages.”
I was pretty impressed with this park. I was told that the park had been completely remodeled. This park has something for all age groups to do. There is also a tennis court, a trail, and a creek. It is difficult to get into the park because they re-did the entrance. You cannot get in behind the Police station.
Love this park. Nice playground several ball fields. Tennis/pickle ball courts. Has restrooms that are clean and have baby and adult changing tables. Also, a pavilion with picnics tables. There are also walking trails. They have bags and pet waist stations as well.
This park has a lot to offer in not a big area.It has plenty of new playground equipment, a skatepark (still under construction), atleast 4 baseball diamonds and the Blacklick Creek Trail on the east side of the park.
Nice area. Playground, skateboard area. Blacklick trail leads to Huber Park. Police station is right there.
