Ken Kelly Park

Misting stations in parks are more than a refreshing feature – they’re a public health equity strategy.  By reducing the urban heat island effect, they protect health, provide cooling in hot summer months, and create welcoming gathering spaces for everyone.

These Glomist features, set within this urban pocket park, do more than cool the air – they create a social connection that fosters community ties and reduce isolation.  With benches, greenery, and accessible walkways, this space invites neighbors to relax, connect, and thrive together.
