Kingman's Largest Park: Centennial Park
Kingman, according to my calculations and not counting school diamonds has 15 ball diamonds, of which 13 have lights. Seven lighted of these diamonds are at Centennial Park. In addition there is a nice covered playground, a large field for soccer playing or flying kites and paths for walking.
The center for racquet sports in Kingman is Centennial Park. They have tennis courts, two in door racquetball courts, and new pickle ball courts. You can use the outside of the racquetball complex to hit the ball against the wall. Unlike other communities where I have lived, the courts are locked and only accessible after paying a fee at the recreation complex. The fee is minimal, like $3 for and hour and a half of play.
The park also has picnic and grills. There are horse shoe pitching areas. There is an area with basketball hoops which can also be used for volleyball. Beyond the outfield of one of the ball diamonds is a dog run area. Brochures about local parks indicate this park includes bocce. I have walked through the park with no success in finding the court.
Centennial Park covers about four city blocks but shares this area with Kingman Academy. There is a community center, as well as the parks and recreation office where the racquet sports are managed. The Centennial pool is also in this area and opens Memorial Day.
The park is located on Beverly between Harrison and Burbank.
