The Lot's History

The Tot Lot is a small park located in the heart of Ridley Park where community members, young and old, gather to play in the park, walk their dogs, and play recreational sports. The park has been there since the beginning of Ridley Park’s existence, but wasn’t named the Tot Lot until the passing of former Mayor, Joseph J. Kilkenny. The park is now officially named the Joseph J. (Bud) Kilkenny Memorial Tot Lot. However, the Tot Lot wasn't always the home of the Ridley Park Wiffleball league.....
