Miraflores Central Park (Spanish: Parque Central de Miraflores), also known as Miraflores Park (Spanish: Parque de Miraflores), is a public park located in Miraflores, Lima, Peru. It is divided into two parks: John F. Kennedy Park (Spanish: Parque John F. Kennedy) and 7 June Park (Spanish: Parque 7 de Junio). The former gives the entire park complex its popular name, Kennedy Park.[1]

The park is known for its large presence of street cats,[1] and is commonly used for events such as book fairs and marathons, as well as Fiestas Patrias celebrations such as the Corso Wong, and political and social protests.[2]
