Take a walk through Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens

Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens

Sparkling in the sun on a breezy day, this natural area of Anacostia Park has origins in a 1926 act of Congress to preserve the forests, water quality, and recreation value of the waterways of Washington, DC. The park reflects the policies that affect rivers and wetlands.

No matter the time of year, a walk through Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens reveals nature's beauty in an urban environment.
