DO NOT COME TO THIS PARK!!! The crowd is very wild and tacky! Kids are running all over the place including grown ass teenagers! This park is madness and if you have little ones, it's definitely not a park to take them. I felt very unsafe with the people that showed up and Hayward recreation really needs to do some thing to monitor the crowds and the age limit of kids that use the park structure read more

I want some explanation of why it took three years to give us so much less of a park in Hayward? Why on earth would you take away all the play structures to replace them with one small and quite dangerous one? There is no petting zoo, nothing but empty barns. They have added a tea cup ride but this addition does not at all balance what is now gone. I am seriously upset. My kids, now in their 30's and my older grandson who is now 14 loved this park, I loved this park. I wanted my 4 year old grandson to have many years enjoying this park but we will have to go elsewhere. Can we get an investigation into where the money went? Were the developers hoping there would be many injuries so they could close it and sell it for housing? Something is wrong here. :/ read more

Really crowded and it's not very toddler friendly park. I took my 18 months and it was so hectic with other larger kids around pushing. It's a good park if you don't mind the crowd and bigger kids playing. read more

The Staff here keeps the park absolutely Beautiful. Walking mornings during the week is such a Pleasant way to start my day! Love it

I took my two kids back on a Saturday after they reopened but I was definitely disappointed... 1. The main playground structure is a small tight enclosed space that would probably be fun at someone else backyard. It is a wood structure barn style like that you won't see your kids once they are inside. It can be dangerous actually when there are a lot of kids at different age crowded inside. 2. Rides ticket- you have to use all the ride tickets that you buy on the same day. There are no refund on unused tickets or save them for the next visit. And you have to buy the tickets in advance before you head to the ride. To me, this is just ridiculous...what if I buy the tickets but my kids change their mind at the last minute when we get to the ride? Why can't I come back next time to use them? 3. Adults accompanying small kid at the merry go around needs their own ticket too. (Not even Disneyland charge the accompanying adults) 4.Petting zoo- closed (not sure is it permanent or it will reopen in the future) 5. Foods- I ordered a chili nachos but the chili and nacho cheese were cold. They probably just scooped it out straight from the can. There are some improvement like the parking lot is nice and plenty of picnic tables. Not sure will I go back...I actually miss the old Kennedy park read more

Great location for a party out doors. Making a reservation was a snap. Plenary of things for the children to do. Helpful park staff and all around clean park. Love what's been done to the park. read more

Came here twice after the remodel, we have been waiting for this park to reopen! The train and carousel are always great, but the playground itself is small and not as much stuff to do for the kids as it used to be. My daughter is 6 but unfortunately she would rather go to another park than here. This may be a great park for toddlers still. They have great areas for parties and lots of space still. read more

I love coming to the park when I'm in the area. Are used to come here as a kid and the main attraction rides carousel and train ride are still functioning, however they no longer do the live pony rides; this is a little bit of a bummer since my son really loves horses and it's hard to find a place that has them nearby. The rides are cheap and the play structure is relatively nice, although it can be very hot during mid-day hours. I always get upset when I see parents bring their kids to the slides without testing them themselves with their hand first... I've seen a lot of babies get burned because the parents are not paying attention but that's not the parks fault lol. I wish more parks could put tarps over the place structures so this wasn't a huge issue but all in all this is a really nice park that offers reservations for large parties and has outdoor bathrooms. read more

Kennedy Park - Swings, tire, slides - Parks Near Me - Hayward, California

Regret bringing my kid to this park. Suspected that my kid got Covid from here. Its way too crowed and kids arent wearing mask. All the big kids huddle inside the barn because there is only one tall slide. There is an area with green stalks. Just a waste of space and resources. Just some useless stalks doing nothing. This playground is great for toddlers. read more

Kennedy Park - Parks Near Me - Hayward, California

What a disappointment! After the long wait the fences are finally removed and the park has reopened. The top reasons this park sucks! 1. Super Crowded! There are so many kids on the tiny structure it looks like a swarm of ants. The structure is enclosed and it is impossible to keep an eye on your child. My kids also said that someone had spilled food on top of the structure and it was sticky and smelled. 2. The play structure is microscopic and all squished together compared to what it was before. The old park had multiple structures and was spread out. Pre renovation there was something for everyone, all ages and sizes. Now there is no monkey bars, no pull up/ bars to hang from, no fire pole to slide down. Did I mention that they wiped out all of the swings?! There's only 2 of each of the type of swings (toddler/ regular) and they're next to impossible to get on. 3. There must have been a sale on picnic tables because they are literally everywhere!! Why would you pack a place full of picnic tables and not have a large enough playground area for all of the kids you're trying to draw in!? We were here for 15 minutes (if that) and left because of the amount of people here and lack of playground space to accommodate everyone. read more

The park has been renovated and looks beautiful. Rides seem to only be open on the weekend. The playground is for more of a younger crowd. My 8 year old got bored pretty quick. The park looks beautiful though and has a ton of seating area. I just hate that it is on a busy street. read more

It's a chill place, with lots of grass and smooth sidewalk space to ride skates, scooters, and bikes in without worrying about cars. The carousal is cute and shaded. The playground is decent but not a lot to it. read more

I feel like this park has been here forever. I used to come here as a kid, not that I can really remember but I have seen photos of younger me having a blast here. When I visited this past weekend it looks like things may have not changed a bit. This still seems to be a kids wonderland lol. They have a play area, train that circles the park, and a petting zoo. The park was packed of celebrations from birthday party's to baby showers. I'm not exactly sure but it seems like this is the type of park you either need to come early to claim your spot or you reserve through the city ahead of time. I suggest to drive in the back parking lot to see if there are valuable spaces because luckily enough for us someone was leaving when we drove in. I did however have a lot of people from our party suggesting to park across the street at Target and just walk over. read more

Give me the old park back. No petting zoo. Terrible. Waste of funds.

Kids playground is large with two sets of swing sets & wood chip ground. In addition it has following to keep younger ones busy in affordable budget. 1. Kids train-$1.50 per 2. carousel-$1.50 per ticket 3. Petting Zoo-$1.50 per ticket 4. Jump house-$1.50 per ticket 5. Pony rides are $3. Tip: buy the 3pk tickets for $4. You save 50 cents. You have Target/Five Guys/Subway ..on walking distance so you can easily grab food or drink without leaving or planning earlier. read more

Neck tattoos, glitter-tipped nails and elaborate lip-piercings. And that's just on the young mothers -- don't even dare LOOK at the men here or you'll get a cap popped in your azz. Damn. Other than that it's a swell place to take your little ones. Petting zoo, choo-choo train, and a big play structure. read more

Great spot to celebrate my future ring bearers 1st birthday party. There was plenty of parking and it's right on Hesperian blvd. The benches we sat on were right across the street from a target to extra supplies are not far away. Plenty of space to BBQ and throw the frisbee or football around. The sheer size of the park was nice. There's no alcohol allowed which is fine because it keeps the vibe calm. There's a train that runs along the perimeter and a petting zoo in the middle. Kids love this place. I mentioned it to my grandma and she said that was the park she and her students would bus to for end of year festivities. Glad I mentioned the story to her. read more

Kennedy Park - Birthday party! Happy 1st James - Parks Near Me - Hayward, California

The jumper needs to be replaced badly. Six children under the age of 6 were occupying the jumper when barely 2 minutes in....the thing came down on the little ones. I was horrified. All I could think of was one or more of the children being suffocated. With that being said ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! After all that...the crew started taping parts of the jumper, I figured there had to be holes, and the jumper had, had its time at KENNEDY PARK! Management should not allow something so hazardous on the premises! read more

They don't take ATM to buy tickets for the trains or zoo. The one they have is broken so had to walk to bank to get money out. Petty zoo is covered in shit and gross. They should pay someone to sweep it up. Pretty gross Would be a nice part if they put a little effort into it read more

Kennedy Park - Clean up the animals shit - Parks Near Me - Hayward, California

This park is very different and unique so you gotta give it props. Its a park with many play equipment to play on and great sized also. They have rides here which is really cool and even a petting zoo. There's even BBQ grills and benches. There's even stores across the street . There's a big open field which is great for soccer, football, Frisbee, or whatever your fun needs are. I am very impressed by this place. They have some pretty cool and interesting trees also. read more

Nice park to take your toddlers/kids. I only suggest going during a weekday to avoid the crowds of the large parties & other "suspects". $1.50 per ticket is not bad to enjoy any one of the features the park has. There is the train, the carousel, the bounce house, & the Triple Pines Ranch petting zoo! My son just loved the goats! Friendly goats but they will nibble on hanging/loose clothing such as my dress LOL! There are some cute ass chickens in there too. Pony rides are $3. Also the playground (free of course) is large- two sets of swing sets & wood chip ground. Tip: buy the 3pk tickets for $4. You save 50 cents. read more

Great place to visit. It has play grounds for kids, and many picnics areas. And a train ride. It is small theme park. And every thing is new! read more

Every year my family does a family reunion here and I don't like it. The seating area is way to far from the playground area. The bathrooms are so gross! Never clean. It's a VERY busy park. I've never seen in slow. Sometimes so busy I have to park in the plaza next door near target because there is no where to park. My kids like the little petting zoo area. But it really isn't anything big at all. You have to buy tickets for the zoo, and the two rides. read more

Kennedy Park - Parks Near Me - Hayward, California

My name is shayne and I'm kennedy park staff,at the Park. This is a very great park to bring kids and even have birthday parties also. That park is a very run down park and very old. But we keep it going very well. First the train-it's very old but we still have it up running, very much. Second the carousel-its very old, and it has issues a lot of the time,but still have it up an running,thanks to a new part for the carousel. Third the jumper-we had a old jump house that was being tape up over a big hole,but we finally have a new jump house it's very big,and a lot of kids like the new jump house. Lastly the barn-the barn is very old put it's very nice,and the petting zoo has the goats and chickens, you can fed the goats and chickens. The animal fed is $1.00 each. So hope everyone comes and enjoys there selfs at kennedy park in hayward. Hope to see you there. read more

This is an awesome neighborhood park. It isn't an amusement park. It isn't Disney Land. The employees there are mostly teenagers and they aren't trying to create a magical experience for you. All of that being said, it is an AWESOME neighborhood park. How often do you find a train, carousel, bouncy house, and petting zoo at your local playground? Tickets for each of these additional features are $2.00.....pretty reasonable. If you are a white nationalist, you probably will not like this park. You will see children and families of all races, colors, and religions enjoying this park. When you see reviews calling it ghetto, just know that is code for "Oh no! There were brown people there too, and they scare me! I want to go back to the 1950s when everything was segregated." It is a little worn and run down, but like another reviewer stated, the kids don't care about that. This is my daughter's absolute favorite park to come to. read more

Came here in the morning and it's a beautiful park to walk around. Read the reviews on how crowded it is and to be honest I can't speak to that, but over all there are plenty of things to do (bbq pits, benches, trash cans, attractions). Planning to bring my nephew in a few weeks read more

I'm actually surprised to see so many 1 star reviews already. Sure it's not your classic play structure and swing set playground anymore, but it has many fun features you don't see at most playgrounds. Definitely recommend going on a weekday morning before older kids get out of school. Once the older kids got there, they don't have much regard for toddlers (which is fine) and take up the hammock swings for hours which was the only thing my toddlers didn't get to do. There are several different heights of slides for all ages. My toddlers loved the red tractor and being able to sit up on it and pretend to steer. Same with the big truck-you can sit in the front seat and steer or slide out the back of the truck bed. There's a snack bar which is also not at many playgrounds. The rides only operate on the weekends for $3 per person per ride. There are a lot of picnic tables but good for the weekends if there are multiple parties going on especially in the summer. Definitely recommend giving it a try with an open mind! read more

http://www.haywardrec.org/PicnicAreas/KennedyPark/KennedyPark.html I went here a few times when I was a kid (I think my sister worked here one summer when she was in high school). I had some good experiences, but the park is much better now (a few things are around now that weren't in the past, such as the playground). I went here today with my son Joshua and my parents. There are 2 entrances. One is by the tennis courts, and the other is by Five Guys. There are a lot of parking spots, but it can be hard to find one over the weekend. The Concession Stand is open from 11:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Weekends, School Vacations, and Major Holidays (the park is partly busy over the weekend because, in general, the attractions are NOT open on weekdays). http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kennedy-park-hayward?select=YcZfsF99-XvU-d_wYT2f_g#ZFTA1PojEsuF2_G5U9ea2Q: The $5 tickets save you $1. The prices here have gone up in recent months (ex: riding the train used to be $1.50). I believe pony rides are still $3. The train runs until 6 p.m. Unless I read them wrong, some Concession Stand signs indicate that tickets can also be bought at the train station and the "Cart" (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kennedy-park-hayward?select=YcZfsF99-XvU-d_wYT2f_g#lnrmj-iQlrM6JAtk6f3JOQ). You can buy drinks, candy, and ice cream here (ex: Tootsie Rolls; Pepsi; Gatorade; apple juice; water). They range in price from $.25-$5 (most items are between $1-$2). They're spelled wrong here, but I was tempted to buy a Push-Up. Joshua went on the train twice (he really enjoyed it and didn't want to get off the first time). He then went on the Merry-Go-Round with my mom (he threw up on her 3 times- I'm kidding). The petting zoo was next. As another reviewer states, "You can purchase ice cream cones for $.50 filled with feed." I felt bad for the guy at the door. Some people didn't realize that they needed tickets. Joshua was a little afraid of the goats, but he liked the chickens, the rabbits, the sheep, and the pig (for some reason, he said "Dada" when he saw the pig). The restrooms here are subpar. If you don't want to deal with them, just piss your pants or walk over to Target (it's in the immediate area). There's a horseshoe pit. It probably goes without saying, but you need to supply your own horseshoes. Some of the pavement is uneven. I didn't see any kids trip, but it is possible (fingers crossed). The picnic areas can be rented out (my parents know a guy who got his money back because the park overbooked the area he wanted- things worked out fine in general). The Swings: Joshua was on his swing so long that I had time to write a dissertation. Making Some Friends: My dad kept goofing around with this one girl. He even helped her mom swing her. The girl and her mom both smiled and laughed. They even remembered my dad as we were leaving the park (they noticed him when they were crossing in front of us). Another mom was initially more interested in checking her phone than in pushing her daughter (she even chastised her daughter to "Do it right"- the girl kept moving around while in the swing). She was so rough with her at first that I thought she was going to launch her into space. Anyway, my mom disliked the girl's mom even more than I did. I felt bad for another mom and her daughter. They had to wait awhile. There are swings on both sides of the playground, but they were all taken. I really feel like a parent sometimes (I feel like a pimp the rest of the time). 3 kids were in a red tire swing. They held on tight, but I briefly worried about them because of how fast they were going. Joshua didn't want to leave the park. He started making a fuss when it was time to go (later on, I saw a girl refuse to get in her car because she didn't want to leave the area either). Somber Ending To A Sweet Day: Sadly, there was some tragedy before we left (this was around 5 p.m.). Someone got shot (we didn't see or hear anything, but I knew that something dramatic had happened because I saw all these people running to the left to see what was going on). My mom was suddenly all antsy for us to leave. She even referred to a shooting here in the recent past. The shooting occurred across the street. A fire truck soon arrived on the scene, and was shortly followed by an ambulance and some police cars. We didn't really know what happened until we bought dinner at Caesar's Chicken (it's about half a block from where the shooting occurred). My dad talked to a guy who knew what happened (a traffic lane was blocked off, and the police were questioning a witness when we drove by). My mom basically kept saying that some people are idiots (my dad wondered where the Rangers were, but I don't know if the shooting involved the park at all). Anyway, I pray for the person who was shot. This is a great place for a picnic or barbecue. It's also a fun place for kids and adults alike. read more

They have kids running this place, first of all this boy at the petting zoo was cursing in front of all the children, sat on the bunny cages, was rude and disrespectful , kicked the goats out of the way literally, and I even heard him calling a woman a "b/tch" to another co worker. And at the carousel another kid who hates there job, most disrespectful unhappy workers I've ever seen. Pissed me off so much, I brought my entire family there for my daughters first birthday and it was embarrassing as hell how ridiculous their staff was. Called to complain, and another kid answered. All they said was "hello", how about "hi, this is Kennedy Park how may I help you?" . Don't recommend at all read more

Great during the week, super scary during the weekends. During the week, your kid will have a playground to himself. During the weekend, your child will be dragged all over the playground by child gangsters. During the week, you'll find parking in any of the areas with no problem. During the weekend, your car will be door dinged or keyed, and you'll have to step over the piles of trash others throw from their cars. During the week, you'll cover your dainty daisy chain tattoo on your ankle so you don't set a bad example for the kids. During the weekend, you'll see more Old English neck tattoos than you care to count. So the moral of this story? If you don't want to get stabbed, go M-F. If you want to get initiated into a street gang, Saturday and Sunday are your best bets. read more

Google maps is not perfect. Case in point, they have the correct address for Kennedy Park, but over precision zooming for the listing drills all the way down to the snack bar, or more so a pushcart vendor, adjacent to the mini building where they sell tickets. Uhm back up the Star Wars Death Star technology, and zoom out a bit please Sergey & Larry, so the focus is on Kennedy Park itself. http://www.haywardrec.org/kennedy.html Kennedy Park is a spacious public ground of greenery good for clean wholesome family fun, with ample parking space and picnic tables with or without bbq pits, that seemingly require advanced reservations. As far as kid fun goes, the offerings range from a merry go round, a petting zoo, pony rides, mini train ride that goes around the circumference of the park's edges, a huge inflated bounce house (called Tiger something if I remember correctly) and of course the obligatory playground structures with slides and devices designed to improve the motor skills of the little ones. Of all 6 options, only the last one is free of charge. The first five selections of the fun part of Kennedy Park follow a similar business model to some jazz clubs back East, or in some cases coffee houses, where the budding and unfortunate musician starting off only has these means to get the music out the old school way (via live performance), and that is the "pay to play" model. Between $1.25 to $1.50 will get you admission to one of the rides, fun, or games per person regardless of age. Once you are done, if you want to go again, it's time to pony up the dough. The petting zoo is arguably the best value out of the lot, as it is not time based. As soon as you come in, they don't time you and you can come in for as long as you want. Their rabbits and hares are individually caged (some are just way too big and perhaps skitterish/jitterish to be held or petted, and if you see some of the park attendee's older kids and the way they behave, you wouldn't want those thumpers to be harassed) along with a cage of about 3 doves. Past this immediate area is a vendor selling ice cream cones containing goat/sheep feed for a measly 50 cents. Then you pass two more immediate gates to get into the open space area where dwarf goats are allowed to roam. The goats are generally friendly until one of you starts holding a cone of feed. A hint, don't let the kids (young or old) hold the cone, the moment you freeze in your tracks is when the angry mob (or herd) come bum rushing and agressively remove the cone of feed from your hands, spilling all of 50 cents all over the ground for the rest of the herd to enjoy. These generally mellow creatures who can sit still and let people pet them (who may get mildly jitterish if you go as far as a gentle poke on their ass), will be restless the moment they smell some vegetarian pellet ice cream. You will also do well to keep your smaller kids away from the uninitiated who bring their kids in with the ice cream cones of feed, so no goat collisons happen with them while bum rushing for their munchies. Other than the goats, the other animals kept behind cages (some not directly in view) are a turkey, two to three chickens, pheasants. There is a separate fenced area (although reachable with hands to pet) for one huge black sheep with brown wool (huge and tall), and one seriously overweight black pig (who is not allowed to mingle with the kids with a sign that says "on special diet, do not feed"). It is *really* hard not to have forbidden thoughts on these two, as one can imagine how important good mutton and black pork/kurobuta (especially the belly where this pig's attribute clearly excels in) is to someone like me and possibly you. The train ride lasts a few mins, and there's only one place to line up. Basically it's short. Ditto for the pony ride, where 3 beautiful yet seemingly saddened ponies are stuck going around in circles. During the one hour+ time we were here, we were wondering when they would get fed something or at least given some water. No idea if there is a time limit on the Tiger jump, but I suppose there is. Bottom line: A pretty decent place to have some fun with the little ones. For less than 2 hours of fun, you could basically spend less than you do than at the SF Zoo or somewhere else. But if you're coming from the West Bay, there's that dreaded bridge toll to pay on top just to get here. read more

4.5 My youngest son loves this park! Mainly because of the train ride, but this park has a lot to offer. There are two nice newer play structures with all the usual bells and whistles. A pretty decent petting zoo that includes bunnies, goats and sheep, a peacock, some roosters and chickens and a pretty cute pig. You can purchase ice cream cone cones for $.50 filled with feed. They last about 2 seconds, but it's still fun to feed the animals. Be extra careful with smaller children cause the goats can be a little aggressive. They'll snatch that cone from a little one with the quickness! There's also a pony ride that's ok. Also featured at this park is a carousel, a train ride and a bounce house aka jumper. You must purchase tickets for these at the concession stand. You also need to purchase tickets for the petting zoo and the pony ride. You can reserve one of their many tables for parties. Lots of tables are located in the shade, which is a huge plus for me. My son likes to top off his day here with a vanilla ice cream cone from the concession stand. **Just a note. Be aware that if you are riding a bike or a board without a helmet they will cite you. I had to pay $189 ticket when my oldest son was skating without a helmet. The Rangers here are nice, but tough. Follow the rules! read more

Kennedy Park is a great option for kids, especially on weekends. In addition to a fairly large playground, they have bounce houses, a carousel, train ride, and petting zoo for small fees. My son enjoyed everything, although we didn't have time to visit the petting zoo as we had hoped. I will say, things here do seem a little tired and run down. They could use a fresh coat of paint and a pick me up. That aside, children don't tend to notice these things or mind. I love that these types of parks even still exist! read more

I went here with a lady friend and her niece. This park is really something special. Almost like stepping back in time. This is how parks used to be. Always clean and is one of the best places to have a family picnic if you have small children. Train ride around the park, old style Merry Go-round, Bounce House, and a small petting zoo where you can feed the animals. There are pony rides too. Just $2 apiece or 3 attractions for $5 Those prices haven't been seen for decades. And the Snack Bar is the same way,. You can reserve picnic tables, which is a good idea on holidays and nice weather days. There are places you can barbeque too. Also has a playground with swings. The park has a pretty good reputation for being safe and friendly. Can get crowded at times. Plenty of parking close by. This park is great for small children. Open weekends & holidays 11:30am-4:30pm read more

Kennedy Park - Woo Woo, Choo Choo Train that goes around Kennedy Park. Small children love this park. - Parks Near Me - Hayward, California

Well, this review is for the whole park not just the snack bar. This is a great park because it has lots of extras: a merry-go-round, a train, a petting zoo, pony rides, and as the review title states, a snack bar filled with all your childhood favorites...icees, cotton candy, pink popcorn. It can get crowded, but there is enough stuff to spread kids out a bit. I had to take off one star because I traumatized the kids I nanny for by taking them into the petting zoo. Do not go in there unless there are tons of other kids feeding the animals. We were all alone and the goats attacked and I had 2 screaming kids...fun times. read more

I have been here a few times. During the week it is really nice when there aren't so many people around. On the weekends it's so packed but that's to be expected. The ticket prices are reasonable. The carosel went around FOREVER! Every kid looked like they were about to puke when they came off. The petting zoo was empty, mostly cause all the goats charge at you the minute you open the gate to get in. They had the animals in the pen that looked sick and laying in their own poop. Sad. The crowd isn't all that great. A lot of rude people with their equally rude kids. The only reason we go is to go on the train. read more

For an older been there forever park-- my grandmother brought her kids here, my mother brought her kids here, & now I brought my kid here... It's held up pretty well! Tickets needed for the bouncer (10 min = 5$), train, & carousel. Park itself is free.... Fun tire swings, slides, monkey bars, nice dressed kids and parents who pay attention to their child instead of being on their cell phones the whole time. Petting zoo looked well kept-- no bad odors just natural odors. Train is sturdy and a decent ride. Rangers were roaming the park and informing us when the park closes-- @ dusk. read more

Snikeys. This place is soo packed on weekends. Jumpy houses are a common sight. If you plan on getting away from a busy workweek to lounge around in a park, this will not do it for you. Along with the children ridden families there's also a petting zoo (cough, cough), children's train, carousel, snack bar, and jungle gym. A nice place for the kids to go nuts or a place to go to after you've shopped at Target. Kennedy Park also hosts the annual Zucchini festival (zzzz). read more
