Kennett Square

Classes in the performing arts, karate, and horseback riding also keep Kennett Square residents busy.

A diverse array of recreational, cultural, and community amenities make life complete in Kennett Square.

Many residents keep active through memberships and programs at the Kennett Area YMCA. Located on Race Street, the branch was recently named ‘#1 in the Country for Member Experience’ and includes indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, wellness center, and weight room. Youth sports like little league, soccer and football also shine in this community.

Residents who’d rather enjoy the scenery of Chester County often find themselves at Anson Nixon Park, a 106-acre oasis and home to three miles of hiking trails, two ponds, rolling streams, and a beech grove that’s nearly as old as Kennett Square itself. Kennett Square’s residents also regularly gather on Genesis Walkway, which hosts Kennett Square’s Farmer’s Market from May through October. Other community events include the Mushroom Festival in September, the Kennett Brewfest in October, and parades to mark Memorial Day, Halloween, and the winter holidays.

Of course you can always find fun in downtown Kennett Square. Whether it’s meals at Half Moon Saloon, Sinclair’s Sunrise Café, Country Butcher Café; strolling the shops on State Street; or taking in a concert at Kennett Flash, residents have many ways to keep busy in Kennett Square.
