Kennywood is an amusement park in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, just southeast of Pittsburgh. The park opened on May 30, 1898, as a trolley park attraction at the end of the Mellon family's Monongahela Street Railway.
It was purchased in 1906 by F. W. Henninger and Andrew McSwigan, both of whom later formed the family-owned Kennywood Entertainment Company. In 2007, the company sold Kennywood, along with four other parks, to Parques Reunidos' Palace Entertainment subsidiary. In early 2025, the park was again sold to Herschend.
