Houston, we have landed! Come visit Kherson Park and explore!

Construction is complete and the park is open. Come and explore Kent’s space themed park which includes the interactive Lunar Rover replica, life-size astronaut, and Lunar Lander and Mission Control play elements. The park celebrates our region's legacy of aero and outer space innovation by memorializing Kent’s role in space exploration. We believe this new and innovative park will inspire today's youth to pursue out-of-this-world opportunities!
