Kennedy Park is the largest of the City's parks in the City of Fall River. Kennedy Park is an…read morehistoric park designed by famed Fredrick Law Olmstead who also designed Central Park in NYC. The Park is split into 3 sections: Upper (Borders - S.Main St, Middle St, Broadway and Bradford Ave), Middle (Borders - Broadway, Middle St., Bay St. and Bradford Ave), and the Lower (Borders - Bay St, Middle St, Club St and Mt. Hope Bay coastline). Kennedy Park features: 2 Softball fields - One at upper section of the park, one at the lower section of the park. 2 Little league fields - Both at the upper section 3 Basketball Courts (brand new as of 2016) - Located at the upper section 4 Tennis courts - Located at the middle section A Pavilion with spectacular views of Mount Hope Bay - Located at the middle section A Warming House (bathrooms) - Located at the middle section A Scenic Overlook (overlooks Mount Hope Bay) - Located at the lower section An Ice Skating Rink (HUGE!) / During summer months you can see kids roller skating, bike riding, etc here - Located at the middle section Walking paths - Throughout the park, but the upper park has one that is ideal for laps and is 0.7 miles around. Huge sledding hill - Just beyond the pavilion located at the middle section One of the most prominent features is a NEW Inclusive Playground completed in June 2014. The playground is in natural colors so it blends with the landscape of the historical park. It features an all steel design with double wide ramps throughout so 2 wheelchairs can pass each other. It is beautifully shaded by large mature trees. The flooring at the playground is GTImpax Turf which is a synthetic turf safety surfacing. It has a 12' fall height meaning it protects kids from broken bones and concussions if they accidentally fall from the equipment (tallest point of the playground is 8'). It is also accessible for children with mobility devices and once again, blends with the natural landscape. There is a 5-12 yr old section of the playground that is 100'X60'. Max height is 8' with slides, climbers, bridges, etc. There is a 2-5 yr area that is 92'X53' with a max height of 4'. There is also a Swing/Picnic area that is 61'X58'. There are adequate benches and the picnic tables are accessible. There are 2 belt swings, 2 toddler swings, 2 ADA swings and a tire swing. There are multiple climbers, slides, spinners, a seesaw, etc throughout. This playground is HUGE and is a place where ALL kids can play. Kennedy Park is centrally located in the City and near the finest Fall River attractions including the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast, Heritage Park, Downtown, Battleship Cove, the Carousel and the waterfront.

There aren't very shallow areas for the toddlers like there are at some of the other DCR pools, such as Connors Memorial Pool in Waltham, which probably helps to keep the crowds down. But the pool is very spacious and has enough space both for lap swimmers and kids playing. The spray deck just outside is great for the younger kids, too.

It's a year later and they've done extensive updates to the pool location. 1. There's now an ADA regulation ramp with rails going into the pool for those in wheelchairs or who have trouble walking. 2. They added easier steps and hand rails for children and families to enter at the opposite end (long stairs that slope gently instead of ladder style.) 3. They have added permanent shade awnings around the pool, along with wooden benches underneath them (definitely still try to come early because those get snapped up quickly.) 4. The changing rooms are the same, but entering the locker rooms, there is now almost a rubberized "curtain" of small strips to walk through that creates privacy. Previously anyone walking by in the main corridor could see directly in. 5. The splash pad/fountain area has awnings and benches around it, and is ADA accessible. As of summer of 2023, the pool is open 7 days a week from 11:15AM-6:00PM. The changes have greatly improved the property, and it's a place where you can come and stay all day instead of roasting on hot concrete. They also have water fountains and outdoor showers along the pool deck for getting a quick drink and rinsing off.

I like it alot and the Portuguese places around here are very much worth visiting. It has its own highways to whisk you into Boston or nearby Providence, and very few use those highways, and it's the gateway to Cape Cod. I wish it wasn't so industrial and worn down, but has a lot of charm and it's a very special place. Hartley's Pork Pies is a wonderful British treat, while Barcelos and many, many other great Portuguese bakeries and restaurants must be visited.
