Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens - Plan Your VisitOperating Hours & Seasons Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens is the northern site of Anacostia Park. It is divided into three distinct management units with different policies based on the resources protected by each unit. Kenilworth Park (athletic fields and meadow), entered off Burroughs Avenue, is normally open from 8:00 a.m. to dusk. It is closed when road conditions are hazardous. To prevent damage, fields are not open after heavy rains. Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, entered from Anacostia Avenue, is open from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day except Thanksgiving, December 25 and January 1. Kenilworth Marsh can be accessed by canoe at high tide from the river, or on foot by the boardwalk and river trail beginning in Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens or the edge of Kenilworth Park. Spring is the best season for wildflowers in the marsh that borders the athletic fields and gardens. Summer is the season for the Aquatic Gardens. Winter, when leaves are off the trees, is the best time for birding at any of the sites. Local Partners & Information Resources The entrance to Kenilworth Park (recreation area) is located at the westernmost end of Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue, N.E., just off I-295 (Kenilworth Avenue). It is approximately 0.5 mile south of the Aquatic Gardens entrance. |
