Spring at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

Spring is here and it is lively at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens! Water lilies are beginning to grow in the ponds with the lotuses close behind. The open skies are filled with clouds of swallows, chimney swifts, and cedar waxwing. The marsh is brimming with activity with aquatic plants and animals. The park is once again colorful with all types of blooms around the ponds and marsh. However, don’t expect to see the ponds covered in water lily flowers just yet. Water Lilies and Lotuses are summer blooms and will begin to flower around late May with peak bloom around late June to July.

However, here are a few other things you can find at the park at this moment: spadderdock, turtles, tree frogs, butterflies, dragonflies, Redwing Black Birds, Great Blue Heron, Yellow-Crowned Night Heron, and much more.

We are open year-round

Check current park hours.
