Read more about this location
John F. Kennedy Park is a scenic bayfront park in Somers Point with a playground area, picnic space, benches, restrooms, and a boat-launch setting that already works well for family outings. City materials confirm the site is being developed as an inclusive playground through New Jersey Green Acres funding, making it one of the clearest all-abilities playground projects in the Atlantic City Area. Families should expect a larger park context rather than a compact standalone play lot, with the best fit for mixed-age visits, short play stops, and longer waterfront hangs.
