SOMERS PARK
Located at the intersection of Jefferson and North Delphos Streets, Somers Park features two updated playgrounds, including a ninja obstacle course, a basketball court, a picnic area with pavilion, and a hill that is popular for sledding during the winter months.
The park is named in honor of Civil War veteran Orlando Somers, who gifted the property to the City of Kokomo in 1920, one year before his death. For more information about Somers Park and its history in Kokomo, please click here.
One of the most frequently requested amenities at the park was parking. In 2024, Trustee Andrew Durham made the addition of parking a priority to improve accessibility and convenience for park visitors.
Today, the park features ADA-compliant playground equipment, a portable restroom facility, and parking for seven vehicles. Somers Park provides a welcoming space for recreation throughout the year, from playground activities during the warmer months to sledding during the winter season.
