Some mention
"Overall, John F. Kennedy Park receives high praise for its scenic beauty, cleanliness, and excellent fishing opportunities. However, issues with park management, restroom cleanliness, and dam operations affecting river levels are recurring complaints. It is a favorite for family camping and outdoor activities."
