    I usually start my runs here. It's a small park but you come here for the sunrise! It also has a little playground for little kids. My wife and I go there at night to sit at one of the tables and have our take out dinner while looking at the boats on the bay. Breakfast at sunrise would be great too!

    Beautiful park with a beautiful view. I have been coming to this park for almost 30 years with my sister and nieces. Now my nieces bring their children here and my sister has her name on a bench as a memorial. The play area is fun for the kids, the volleyball net is a great option to have as well. You can BBQ with the family here and it’s never too crowded. It is a great little spot that most people don’t even know is there which makes it ideal for locals. I’m not local anymore but when I am in town this is a great spot to sit and enjoy the view and let’s the kids play. If you enjoy bird watching you can enjoy that as well here.

    Perfect place for relaxing outdoor get-together with out-of-town family visiting in Ocean City. Right over the bridge! Awesome views of bridge and O.C. skyline, daytime or nighttime.

    This is a wonderful little gem in Somers Point NJ right outside of Ocean City. It is a small park in relation to others in the area, but it has a nice pavilion, charcoal grills to use, plenty of benches and trees. The view of Ocean city is great and for those with small boats there is a ramp. They have two small walk on piers so we did a little crabbing and grabbed two little ones. Overall it is nice but remember to bring bug spray as the bugs come out a lot, especially if the bay breeze is not strong. Great place to have a picnic, enjoy the volleyball sand/grass court or play with small children on the little playground. Decent amount of parking along the roadway and free.

    My husband and I like to walk laps at Kennedy Park when the weather is nice. We also have enjoyed family picnics with convenient grills and picnic tables. Take-out from Smitty's at Kennedy park is a beloved family tradition. Just this weekend, I needed an emergency bathroom break on one of those walks. I'm pretty extra about what bathrooms I will use, and I was pretty confident we were cutting our workout short to go home. Boy, was I worg! I will tell you, this was definitely top-tier cleanliness. It's nothing new or fancy, but very clean, good hand soap and paper towels, not those nasty poop blowers.

    Beautiful park to see the sunset or play with your kids. A bit small but it's enough to spend a few hours there.

    If you love nature, then it's the right place for you. A very beautiful park, full of green on one side and the blue ocean on the other side. Great place to visit with family & friends and also with kids. Well equipped playground for kids. Where kids can enjoy and play. You can spend the time playing with your kids or enjoying the pleasing nature. It's a place where we can spend a good amount of time very close to nature.

    Not a lot of parking spaces, but what an incredible view. Very clean, well-maintained park, along the shore of Great Egg Harbor Bay. Easy to find.

    It was nice has a gorgeous view overlooking the bay. A small park. Clean bathrooms and picnic tables. If your into cycling right down the road from JFK Park and to the right there's an easy access to the awesome bridge going over to Ocean City. there is a great safe cycling lane that spans the entire length of the bridge. Highly recommend.

    fun and glad to see them hosting national night out. it's clean, although there was a used condom by the parking... for that horrific sight I'll have to take a star. other than that there was nice playgrounds and me and my friend had a blast

    Fun at your park with my sister Debbie

    The park was nice and clean. WE just stopped by for a few minutes while waiting to get into the Crab Trap. The park was great, the day was foggy, drizzling and chilly. It wasn't crowded at all but the day was miserable.

    Went here for a family reunion it was a great time. The park was huge and backed right up to the bay. The view is beautiful. Their accomodations are out of this world. Perfect place for a gathering or just to hang out!

    Took two of my grandchildren ages 6 and 8. Lots of high-quality playground equipment, picnic tables, benches. Great view of the bay. Always a wonderful time for any age.
