The Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens is back open with some limitations, giving cooped-up families another option to explore the outdoors nearby.

Located at 1550 Anacostia Avenue NE on the border of Washington, D.C., and Maryland, just a short drive from the Route 1 corridor, the National Park Service site is home to an array of wetland plants, insects and animals.

The current attraction are giant lotus flowers, which show their blooms in the morning.

After being shut down due to the coronavirus, the gardens reopened last week. Paths around the garden are now clearly marked one-way, and on a recent weekday afternoon visitors were light enough that it was easy to idly walk while maintaining social distancing.

There are also several large grassy and woodsy areas where kids can run around or you could spread a picnic blanket.

The gardens are currently open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, but all buildings — including restrooms, the visitors center and greenhouses — are closed to the public.

Park rangers recommend you wear a mask, as it’s easy to round a corner and unexpectedly run into other visitors. You should also bring some bottled water to avoid dehydration.
