The Kennedy Rec Center has a wonderful playground and splashpad however, I know very little about the ongoings inside the center.

The playground is split into two age appropriate areas, one for older children and one for toddlers and both have gates and locks that are not easy for the toddlers to unlock on their own. My favorite piece of equipment on the big kid area is a steering wheel powered spinning four seater piece (similar to the spinning tea cups at Disney or spinning pumpkins at county fairs), if you get on it be prepared for the neighborhood kids to spin you 'till you're sick, my toddler loves it! The little kid area has a tarp over most of the equipment, this is great because stuff here gets warm!

The equipment here gets HOT during the summer, luckily the splash pad in the big kid area is my favorite of any in the area. There are misting tunnels, sprays of water coming from the concrete, large umbrellas dripping with water- I've seen some resourceful kids use the water to cool down slides and other equipment. I would recommend wearing shoes in the splash-pad, areas that are not wet will burn the living daylights out of your feet (I learned this the hard way when my toddler wandered away).

Also a good multi use park, sometimes the bathrooms are available. And a shaded picnic area between the big and little kid parks is a good place to hide from the rain or have a birthday party. And it's close to Dolci Gelatti.

I've never had any issues with creepy people or drug pushers but I've always come here before 5pm
