History

Kanis Park occupies 46 acres of level to gently-sloping land along Rock Creek in the western part of the city. This tract of land was acquired from the E.D. Kanis family in 1968. The park was developed extensively in 1969 and in 1979; a link in the city bike path system was extended through the park.  In 2020, six pickleball courts were added.
