Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens
Plan Your Visit
 

Waterlilies and lotus may take center stage at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens each summer in the 12 acres of open ponds, but there is a changing pallet of water colors all year long with fall foliage and winter birding. 

Paint your life with the excitement of rugby at  Kenilworth Park athletic fields, or with the quiet of a gravel bottom stream.   

Kenilworth Marsh is a natural work where raptors punctuate the winter sky and long billed marsh wrens design their summer songs.

The Kenilworth and Kingman Lake Marshes, like the rest of Anacostia Park, are strategically located to prevent flooding of nearby homes and businesses and enhance recreation on the Anacostia River.
