Davis Park and Charles Nash Park
With over 70 parks to partake of, Kenosha residents have many outdoor opportunities. Davis Park in McKinley is a small space that's a favorite for the little ones, who enjoy the playground while parents can watch from a bench. Nearby, Charles Nash Park is a much larger space with a bigger playground. It also includes baseball diamonds and a soccer field. Keep Kenosha Beautiful offers volunteer opportunities for those who wish to contribute to the city's upkeep, including maintaining and preserving neighborhoods, parks and beaches.Kenosha School District and nearby colleges
Kids may attend public schools like McKinley Elementary, graded C by Niche. The school participates in the United Way Readers are Leaders program for kindergarten through third-grade tutoring. With McCubby the Jaguar Cub as its mascot, the school offers after-school intramural programs for fourth and fifth-grade students. Following elementary school, students can move on to Lincoln Middle, graded C, and Indian Trail High School and Academy, which has a B grade.Those going on to higher education might attend Gateway Technical College, where there are over 75 career programs. Only 2 miles from McKinley, the college serves as a center for the surrounding community, with annual special events and other programming. Lee Colony, manager of communications and media relations for the college, says, "We host events in our conference center, and the public can rent out space." Another option, Carthage College, which is approximately 4 miles away, is a private liberal arts college with more than 50 subject areas.

Kenosha's annual events
Kenosha residents can plan on a full calendar. Kris Kochman, community relations liaison for the city, says annual events, many by the lakeside, are well-attended. One of the biggest is the multiday Celebrate America, a Fourth of July festival. The Sunday before the fourth, there's the Civic Veterans Parade. Other community favorites include the Outta Site Kite Flight, the Kenosha Classic Cruise-In car show and the Snow Daze Festival, complete with ice sculptures and an ice rink.
Kenosha Area Transit and Kenosha Station
Public transportation includes Kenosha Area Transit buses that run throughout the city. The neighborhood has access to state routes and interstates for commutes and travel. Milwaukee is about 35 miles north, compared to Chicago, 60 miles south. Avoiding a car drive to the Windy City is possible via a train at Kenosha Station, the only Metra station in Wisconsin.Eateries and shops at the northern end of Mckinley
There are several shops and restaurants in the north end of the neighborhood. Peggy Gregorski, executive director of Kenosha Public Museums, recommends Tenuta's Deli, an Italian delicatessen and liquor store. "It started out as a mom-and-pop, and still is — it's been in the Tenuta family for at least three generations." This is the place for homemade cannoli or lasagna any day of the week. "You go in, and there's a wonderful aromatic smell of Italian herbs," Gregorski says. McKinley is about 2 miles west of downtown, the top spot in the city for museums, boutiques and restaurants. Even closer to home, uptown is transforming as part of the city's $400-million-plus revitalization plan. The mixed-use development, Uptown Lofts, will have retail, including a grocery store and a restaurant. For now, spots to buy veggies and other pantry goods include Piggly Wiggly or, on Saturdays, Kenosha HarborMarket, a year-round European-style market with local produce, goods and more.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
