Oasis verde en el corazón de Miraflores, Lima, conocido por sus gatos residentes, fuentes escultóricas y vibrante ambiente bohemio que atrae a locales y visitantes.
Kennedy Park is a public space open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can visit at any time. It is located in the heart of Miraflores and is easily accessible by the metropolitan bus service or taxi, making it a central landmark in the district.
Access to the park is completely free for all visitors. You will only need a budget if you want to buy handicrafts at the local fair or try Lima's famous desserts from the authorized food carts inside the park.
A typical visit lasts between 45 minutes and one hour to stroll at a relaxed pace and enjoy the atmosphere. If you plan to eat something or visit the Church of the Miraculous Virgin located right there, we suggest allowing at least 90 minutes.
The park, named in honor of John F. Kennedy, is the cultural heart of Miraflores and is world-famous for its colony of cats protected by the community. To fully discover its historical anecdotes and evolution, many visitors choose tools that tell its story in detail.
The best time is at sunset and in the evening, when the park comes alive with music, street performers, and the area's lighting. During summer (from January to March), the weather is ideal for enjoying ice cream and an outdoor walk.
Yes, the park is quite flat and has paved paths and ramps that make it easier for wheelchairs and strollers to get around. It is a friendly and accessible space managed by the Municipality of Miraflores.
You are within walking distance of the famous Larcomar shopping center and the Miraflores boardwalk with its ocean views. You can also take a short trip to visit the impressive Huaca Pucllana, an unmissable archaeological site.
Do not leave without trying the picarones, Peruvian fritters, at the park's official stalls; they are considered the best in the area. Also, keep your belongings safe as you would in any tourist area, and respect the cats by avoiding feeding them inappropriate food.
