Recreation
More than 300 days of sunshine and its location along the Columbia River provide a variety of recreational activities including world-class fishing, birding, bike trails and parks. Golf at one of three courses or bask in the sun at one of Kennewick's 27 beautifully maintained parks. The name "Kennewick" is believed to be a native word meaning "grassy place." It has also been called "winter paradise," mostly because of the mild winters in the area.
