Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens Directions

Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens is a natural area of Anacostia Park which 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. The historic ponds and the natural wetland areas that support them are managed by the National Park Service, in a balance that demonstrates sustainable management known to those first residents.
