John F. Kennedy Park

What You Can Do Here

Set in Pomona, California, John F. Kennedy Park spreads across 8.2 acres of neighborhood greenery. Whether you're a local or just passing through, the park offers various activities.

The paved walking paths wind across the grounds, excellent for your morning jog or an evening stroll to clear your head. Many regulars come specifically for these tracks - a peaceful way to get some steps in without having to hit the gym.

If you're into sports, you'll find a basketball court and a soccer field that tend to draw small crowds on weekends. There's also a skatepark with flat ground obstacles where skaters of all levels practice their tricks - from beginners just finding their balance to more experienced riders perfecting their technique.

Family Time

JFK Park maintains clean, green surroundings that make it particularly inviting for family outings. The playground area keeps the little ones entertained with various climbing structures and a set of swings that are usually in high demand.

You'll appreciate the large parking lot that takes the stress out of finding a spot, especially during busier weekend hours. The atmosphere is pleasant - with children playing and families enjoying the open air.

Places to Gather

The picnic areas are available for outdoor meals. Whether it's a simple lunch or a full family gathering, these spaces are typically clean and ready for use.

You can also take advantage of the grilling facilities if you're in the mood for a proper cookout. The surrounding grassy areas provide plenty of room to spread out a blanket, toss a frisbee, or just lie back and watch the clouds drift by.

Beyond Recreation

What makes JFK Park special goes beyond its facilities. The murals painted on various structures within the park add a splash of artistic character to your visit. Look for artwork on the restroom building and don't miss the striking mural on the east wall created by artist @joeded.

These artistic touches add character to the park. The park regularly hosts community meetings and activities.

What Else You'll Find

You'll have access to restroom facilities, but they might not always be in pristine condition. Recently planted young trees dot the landscape - promising more shaded areas in the future for this otherwise sunny park.

The park also houses a center for teens, offering additional recreational options for young people in the community. And since it's open 24 hours, you can enjoy the space whenever works best for your schedule - if you're an early bird or night owl.
