More Information

Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens welcomes all visitors with disabilities. Explore the lotus and lily ponds, watch birds from the boardwalk, stroll on the paths and trails, or have a picnic on your visit to our park. Come to the visitor center to ask questions and see exhibits about the park's plants and animals.

All walking paths and trails in the aquatic gardens are unpaved gravel, dirt, or grass surfaces. The Anacostia River Trail is asphalt, and the Tidal Marsh Boardwalk is made of even wood planks. There are ramps up to the visitor center and restrooms and on the boardwalk. Seating and picnic tables are throughout the park and aquatic gardens.
 
Two visitors walk on a gravel path next to a pond of water lotus flowers in bloom.
Visit in the summer to see the flowers in bloom.

Sensory Environment

The visitor center is a small space that may get crowded during busy times. The Helen S. Fowler Room towards the back of the visitor center is a meeting and information room that can be used as a quiet space. It has a door, air conditioning, a table, and seating.

You can generally find quiet places outside throughout the park. In the summer when the flowers are in bloom, expect larger crowds.
