Passive amenities at John F. Kennedy Park
Munhall residents can choose from various outdoor spaces, including John F. Kennedy Park, where paved walking paths run through rolling hills centered around a small memorial plaza. It's regularly used for community events like the annual town Easter egg hunt. Homestead Frick Park is another popular amenity, boasting lawn space dotted with American Beech trees and a fenced-in playground. For a more hands-on activity, residents can tend to beds of fresh produce and blooms in the Amity Harvest Garden on the north end of town. While not exactly a park, the Homestead Cemetery is also a community staple, housing the graves of over 10,000 people. For a time, the graveyard fell into disrepair until locals banded together to try to maintain it. It was recently purchased by the Homestead Cemetery Company, which is working to restore it.
Munhall folks enjoy John F. Kennedy Park with a veterans monument centrally located in the park.

The Carnegie Library of Homestead also regularly hosts events, like comedy nights in its music hall and ghost tours throughout the castle-like structure.

This was a great area to grow up in considering the town is so small and everyone knows each other! I wouldn't want to live anywhere else because it's perfect. For the future I can see great things beginning to bloom.
