Kennedy Park Plans Announced

Short Takes

Plans for a park honoring former President John F. Kennedy '40, to be placed next to the Kennedy School of Government, were announced this week by local officials.

The multi-acre park will be "passive" in nature, with wide-open spaces and "an awful lot of trees," said Stephen P. Burgay, an employee of the Metropolitan District Commission.

The park will also include a fountain of some kind and marble posts along the circumference engraved with quotes from the President's speeches, said Burgay.

He added that the plan's details have not yet been worked out, and that the park should be finished in the next two years or so, depending on the weather.
