Note: Lotus at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens are blooming early and the season for lotus only may end by August.  Tropical waterlilies should go out into the ponds in July and bloom through August and September.

At Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens (1550 Anacostia Avenue, NE), starting in late May water lilies and lotus take center stage each summer.  There is an ever changing pallet of water colors all year with fall foliage and winter birding. 

At Kenilworth Athletic Fields (Burroughs Street and Kenilworth Avenue NE) visitors paint life with the excitement of rugby on the athletic fields, or with the quiet of a gravel bottom stream.   Kenilworth Park Athletic Field Entrance is pictured above.

Kenilworth Marsh is a natural work where raptors punctuate the winter sky and marsh wrens design their summer songs.  Come by canoe or use the boardwalk and river trail accessed at the Aquatic Gardens.
