Dedication of McCadden Park
In January 2023, Roanoke City Council approved a proposal to rename Kennedy Park in honor of the late Estelle McCadden, who passed away in 2022 at the age of 95. The community is invited to a dedication of the park, planned to coincide with McCadden’s birthday on April 28 at 11:00 AM. McCadden Park is located at 1616 19th Street NW, and the dedication will take place at the new park sign on the corner of 19th Street and Carroll Avenue NW.
