Kennedy Park occupies 53 acres on Chicago’s Southwest Side, bounded by 113th Street, 115th Street, Western Avenue, and the Canadian National Railway tracks. The park’s core feature is a 1.1-mile paved loop that accommodates walkers, joggers, and cyclists on a level surface free of vehicle traffic. Adjacent to the loop is a 2-acre retention pond stocked with bluegill and bass, where residents can fish from designated piers. South of the pond lies a 12-court tennis complex with night lighting, two full-size baseball diamonds with electronic scoreboards, and a regulation soccer field marked for both 11-a-side and 8-a-side play. A playground equipped with poured-in-place rubber surfacing and climbing structures sits at the northeast corner, within 200 feet of metered parking and restrooms. The field house contains a fitness center open daily, two multi-purpose rooms used for senior programs, and a branch of the Chicago Public Library that operates five days a week. Western Avenue provides direct bus service on routes 49 and X49, while the 111th Street Metra Electric stop is a seven-minute walk from the main entrance, linking the park to the Loop in under 25 minutes.
