John F. Kennedy Park and Arboretum was established in 1968 as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy. This is a magnificent park showcasing plants of international standing with 4,500 types of trees and shrubs from all temperate regions of the world. There is also a fine Visitor Centre, displays a permanent exhibition on the life and achievements of the late President John F. Kennedy. For our visitors we also have pleasant tearooms, a terrific playground and a picnic area, a miniature railway (seasonal), a variety of signposted walks and a pony and trap service.
