Our story

IMG_8704.JPG

The Friends of Kennesaw Parks Foundation was originally founded as the Friends of Swift-Cantrell Park Foundation. The Friends of Swift-Cantrell Park Foundation has contributed over $100,000 towards projects such as the inclusive playground expansion, skate park, shade features, and splash pad. With many projects having been completed, the Foundation was renamed in 2024 to include support for all parks in the city of Kennesaw.

Swift-Cantrell Park

Swift-Cantrell Park serves as one of the premier recreation, relaxation and central gathering places for Cobb County residents. At 42 acres, Swift-Cantrell is the city of Kennesaw’s largest community park. The current features of this park include: two playground sets, three dog parks, a skate park, three picnic pavilions, two restroom buildings, one mile x 12-foot-wide perimeter trail, half-mile x 8-foot-wide inner-loop trail, a splash pad, shade structures, acres of open turf for passive recreation, and drinking fountains. There are future plans for improvements and additions to help the park meet the residents’ wants and needs.

​

The park houses three 1,320 square feet open-air pavilions. Each pavilion is complete with picnic tables and can accommodate up to 60 people. Reserve a Pavilion through the city of Kennesaw parks department.
