Kimmell Park is a historic public park and national historic district located on the Wabash River at Vincennes, Knox County, Indiana. The park was dedicated in 1938, and developed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The WPA constructed a limestone shelterhouse and circular picnic patios with seating and built-in fireplace ovens. The park is named for Vincennes mayor Joseph Kimmell (1887-1970) and is a popular spot for picnicking, camping, fishing, and contemplation of the river.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
