Washington
DC Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens
Location: 1550 Anacostia Avenue N.E. Washington,
D.C.
Washington DC Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens, located
in the northeastern portion of Washington, DC near the Maryland border, was founded
in the early 1900s
by a Civil War veteran who had an affinity for aquatic plants.
It became part of the National Park system in 1938 and has functioned as such since
that time.
Open 7 days a week, the aquatic gardens is the only National
Park Service site devoted to the propagation and display of aquatic plants. The
area is quite picturesque and the perfect place for a leisurely stroll on a pleasant
day. Rangers offer special programs designed for both children and adults to educate
visitors about this unique and fragile eco-system. The 700 acres along the tidal
Anacostia River also offer plenty of space for a fun family picnic as well as lots
of photo-taking opportunities.
