Kenefick Park has REOPENED!
Kenefick Park has officially reopened and Big Boy 4023 is looking better than ever thanks to a fresh coat of paint! Come see two of the greatest locomotives ever to power Union Pacific Railroad on the southwest point of Lauritzen Gardens property. Admission is FREE and the park is accessible during the garden’s operating hours.
Picnic Areas
We love picnics, but they must be enjoyed in designated areas. If you pack a lunch or a snack, please plan to eat it at the tables by the front ponds or at Kenefick Park. We do not allow picnicking or outside food in the garden (with the exception of Tempo of Twilight concerts).
