Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens is a National Park Service site located in the north eastern corner of Washington, D. The park land was originally owned by Walter Shaw, a hobbyist who cultivated and sold rare and exotic water lilies and lotus flowers; in contrast, these historic man-made ponds are surrounded by unspoiled and uncultivated marshes that characterize what the area looked like. Although best known for its annual bloom of exotic lotus and water lilies, it is a tranquil retreat any time of the year.
