With the renovation of Kennedy Park, lots of people are asking where is Kennedy Park?
It’s a two-acres park in the 40 Acres neighborhood on the northern edge of West St. Paul, bordering St. Paul. The city’s page will show you a map (the address is 774 Dodd Road), but here’s an on-the-street view of where Kennedy Park is and a quick look at the new park.
Grand Reopening
Join the community celebration and grand reopening of Kennedy Park on Saturday, November 1 from 1-2:30 p.m.
