Kennedy Heights Playground

If you grew up in Avondale, there’s a good chance Kennedy Heights Playground is somewhere in your story. This spot has been a neighborhood constant for a long time — the kind of place people mention when they’re talking about where they spent their summers. Parking’s available, which is more than you can say for some parks around here. It draws all ages, and that mix is part of what keeps it feeling like an actual community gathering point rather than just a patch of equipment nobody uses.
