Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens protects water-garden landscapes and habitat in Washington, D.C.
Its ponds and wetland setting offer a distinctive National Park Service destination beyond the city’s monumental center.
Use current National Park Service visitor information for opening, trail notices and seasonal conditions. The photograph shows water lilies during an earlier visit rather than blooms guaranteed at another time of year. Stay on designated paths and boardwalks and leave plants and wildlife undisturbed. Guided programs and seasonal celebrations have their own schedules, so check details before travelling for a particular experience.
