Area Guide
The park and river are just the beginning for this trendy neighborhood
Situated between the Anacostia River and the Anacostia Freeway roughly six miles west of Downtown Washington DC, Kenilworth is a small neighborhood that's nearly consumed with the spectacular Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens. This large park features hiking trails along the river and is ideal for birdwatching, wildlife viewing, and picnicking. Kenilworth Marsh, located in the park, is DC's only remaining tidal marsh.
Kenilworth is considered one of DC's hottest up-and-coming neighborhoods, with easy access to the Deanwood Metro station, the river, and the historic Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens. Kenilworth is located next to the trendy Parkside neighborhood and is directly across the river from the US National Arboretum.
