J.F. Kennedy Park — Attraction in Kettering

Warm summer days are ideal for a visit to this park. The engineering design of the barn has some built in shade over parts of the play area. There is a spacious splash pad across the sidewalk. We watched kids jog back and forth between the water section and the dry section. Taking toddlers here I feel safe and comfortable. The rules are easy to follow so long as you read ahead and prepare. Because the water is recycled, use swim diapers. They keep poop contained and from getting into the water which would make others sick. We have visited several times and even got caught during a brief rainstorm. There are plenty of sheltered places to stay dry, benches to rest and watch kids at play, and bathrooms are a short walk. Adequate parking. When the community pools had closed for the season, the water was...

I really love this park. The kids can hop in the water at the splash pad, which is gated so you know they’re safe. Befriend a whole bunch of other kids from around the area, then also run across the walk way to go play and dry in the park. The park is good for ages 2/3 and up. The water park can have any age range there because it caters to all. It’s in the great area too, and the perfect amount of sun exposure for us sun soakers. All around great vibes here. You can be in the shade to cool off and then go sunbathe. The people are all very friendly and welcoming too. Makes the entire experience great for everyone. This is also less than a mile from my house, so it’s perfect...

So disappointed in this place and the way it’s run. Trash all over the court and we were asked to stop playing after 10 minutes of playing, hadn’t even do asked our game WITH OUR CHILDREN and were told we needed to get off the court and place our paddles in the holders.The posted rules clearly state 15 minutes to complete a game. We have always observed the posted rules, cleaned up after ourselves as well as the trash left behind by others. This place is NOT all inclusive and unless your me in a Lexus, BMW or Mercedes they have no use for you on “their” court. Some community park this is .. definitely NOT for the community. So many other parks that are fair open...
