Kennedy Park in northwest Roanoke on 19th Street is now Estelle H. McCadden Park, renamed for the late community activist who championed for positive change in her Melrose-Rugby Neighborhood. All four of Estelle McCadden’s children were on hand along with many other relatives and friends for the renaming ceremony; McCadden Park will also be part of a master planning process this summer with an eye towards adding more amenities. Her son Mac McCadden, a former City Council member, spoke this morning before the sign unveiling at the park.
